CROWLEY – At approximately 5:20 pm on July 4, 2019, Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop I began investigating a single vehicle fatal crash on LA Hwy. 13 near Airport Road in Acadia Parish.
The crash took the life of 26-year-old Harley Romine of Kaplan.
The initial investigation by State Police revealed that the crash occurred as Romine was driving a 2005 Buick Rendezvous northbound on LA Hwy. 13. While traveling northbound his vehicle ran off the roadway. Upon doing so, the Buick overturned several times.

The Worldwide Congress of Acadians, le Congrès Mondial Acadien, will open in a few weeks in Canada. For two weeks, from August 10 – 24, Acadians and Cajuns will celebrate their history and heritage with festivities in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.

With this year's regular session four weeks behind him, Gov. John Bel Edwards endorsed his final batch of bills Monday and essentially closed the legislative policy book for his inaugural term in office.
Like many members of the state Legislature, Edwards is up for re-election this fall and the recent session was his final shot to deliver on campaign promises and influence legislation.
The governor signed three bills into law, including Act 20 and Act 30, which will guide the state's spending on major infrastructure projects.
