The Kentwood and Franklinton communities are mourning the heartbreaking loss of 43-year-old Jerome Warren, who tragically lost his life in a fatal two-vehicle crash early Thursday morning, May 28, 2026. The crash occurred shortly after 7:30 a.m. on LA 1057 near Milburn Grace Road in Tangipahoa Parish and has left family, friends, and loved ones grieving an unexpected and devastating loss.
According to Louisiana State Police Troop L, troopers responded to the scene shortly after the crash was reported and began an immediate investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident. Officials confirmed that the crash claimed the life of Jerome Warren of Franklinton.
Preliminary findings indicate that Warren was traveling eastbound in a 2007 Chevrolet Impala on LA 1057 when, for reasons still under investigation, the vehicle traveled off the right side of the roadway. In an attempt to regain control, the vehicle reportedly overcorrected, crossing back over the roadway and into the westbound lane. At that moment, the right side of Warren’s vehicle collided with a 2021 Western Star tractor-trailer traveling in the opposite direction. Following the impact, both vehicles exited the roadway and came to rest within a nearby tree line.
Authorities confirmed that Jerome Warren was unrestrained at the time of the crash and sustained fatal injuries. He was pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver of the tractor-trailer was properly restrained and was not injured in the collision.
Officials stated that impairment is not suspected in this crash; however, routine toxicology samples were collected and will be analyzed as part of the ongoing investigation. Louisiana State Police continue to examine the factors that led to the tragic sequence of events.

To his family and friends, he was more than a name in a report—he was a loved one whose presence brought meaning and connection to those around him. His sudden passing has created a void that words cannot fully capture, as loved ones struggle to process a life lost far too soon.
As the investigation continues, the community is left reflecting on the fragility of life and the importance of safety on the roadways. Friends and relatives are remembering Jerome Warren for the life he lived, the moments shared, and the impact he had on those closest to him.
