NAVASOTA, Texas — The tight-knit community of Navasota is grieving the heartbreaking loss of 33-year-old John Acosta, who tragically lost his life in a single-vehicle crash early Wednesday morning, November 5, 2025, in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. His sudden passing has left family, friends, and neighbors in deep sorrow as they remember a man known for his kindness, loyalty, and joyful spirit.
According to Louisiana State Police, the crash occurred shortly after 2:00 a.m. on Louisiana Highway 108 near Ron Hall Drive. Investigators say John was driving a 2025 GMC Denali pickup southbound when, for reasons still under investigation, the vehicle failed to negotiate a curve, veered off the roadway, and struck multiple objects before coming to rest. Despite being properly restrained by a seatbelt, John suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Troop D of the Louisiana State Police is handling the investigation and has collected a routine toxicology sample for analysis — a standard procedure in all fatal crashes. Officials say results could take several weeks and will help determine whether impairment, speed, or other factors contributed to the tragic incident.
