On Friday morning, October 28, there was a fatal two vehicle accident in Calcasieu Parish.
According to Lake Charles Police the accident happened around 11.45 a.m. at the intersection of Kirkman and Alamo Streets. It appears that a vehicle, driven by Jaylin Jack, was traveling north on Kirkman Street when Jack failed to stop at a red light. As he entered the intersection, his vehicle collided with another vehicle traveling westbound on Alamo Street.
Due to the crash, Jack’s vehicle spun and hit a bicyclist, identified as Shawn Allison of Lake Charles. Allison was air lifted to a Lafayette hospital where he later died of his injuries.
Police went on to say that Jack was arrested for DWI and Failure to Yield. He has since been released on bond. Toxicology reports are pending, and police report that charges could be upgraded.
An investigation is still ongoing.
