MONROE - The son of Louisiana's State Police superintendent, who is also a trooper, killed two people in a crash in north Louisiana Thursday night.

Kaleb Reeves, the son of Col. Kevin Reeves, was involved in the crash while on duty and while driving a Louisiana State Police vehicle, sources told the WBRZ Investigative Unit. State Police confirmed that Friday.

Reeves rear-ended a vehicle with four passengers killing two of them in the back seat.

The deceased rear-seat passengers are identified as 11-year-old An-Janne Lindsey and 18-year-old Kajenne Lindsey, both of Monroe.

Trooper Reeves was properly restrained and was not injured.

The driver and front seat passenger of the car the two victims were riding in received moderate injuries. They were transported to a hospital.

The crash happened on US 165 in Richwood, a community just outside and south of the Monroe city limits.

State Police have not responded to questions about the wreck. Sources said Kaleb Reeves was at-fault.

The Reeves are from the northeastern Louisiana area.

A Monroe TV station, KTVE, reported on its website, the crash involved a trooper and had pictures of a mangled crash scene.

Check back for updates.

No mention about the rear seat passengers having their seatbelts on or not.

Maybe that bunch does, in fact, need to be defunded.

Would love to see what son's file looks like. You know how they're into suppressing information and all.

No suspicion of impairment.

Were his lights on? Was he responding to a call and the vehicle didn't move out of the way, and he just rear-ended it by accident?

Horribly tragic, he had to hit the car pretty hard. Further, a Kia Forte is no match for those LSP SUVs

Doesn’t matter. Even when running lights and siren the police vehicle still has to obey basic traffic safety. Things like not running into the back of another vehicle.

Drunk driving cops NEVER happens. Except for the videos of drunken passed out cops involved in crashes that never ended up charged of course.

Isolated incident right

Of course. The officer is at fault. But it's a bit different if he was responding to a call at high speed, and if he was drunk, or was posting on twitter while driving, etc.

Lol. You think so? He will say that he was responding to call with lights or sirens and that the vehicle he rammed had a duty to move to the right when it saw his vehicle approaching. The police have a qualified immunity that is rather unrestricted in practice.

While you are certainly correct that he should maintain complete control of his vehicle if on an emergency call, this will be in his favor IF in fact he was on a call:

quote:

Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 32, § 125. Procedure on approach of an authorized emergency vehicle; ?passing a parked emergency vehicle

A. Upon the immediate approach of an authorized emergency vehicle making use of audible or visual signals, or of a police vehicle properly and lawfully making use of an audible signal only, the driver of every other vehicle shall yield the right-of-way and shall immediately drive to a position parallel to, and as close as possible to, the right-hand edge or curb of the highway clear of any intersection, and shall stop and remain in such position until the authorized emergency vehicle has passed, except when otherwise directed by a police officer.

What if it’s just an accident?

I’d be curious to see if the deceased were wearing seatbelts. That could be the lesson in all this.

Seems like it should be fairly easy to verify between call logs and dash cam footage.
