The community of St. Martinville is mourning the loss of 35-year-old stuart hulin, who died after a serious single-vehicle crash in Iberia Parish earlier this week. Louisiana State Police confirmed that hulin later passed away at a nearby hospital after suffering critical injuries in the accident. His sudden death has left family, friends, and neighbors heartbroken as they try to process the tragedy.
The crash happened on Tuesday, November 26, shortly after 6 p.m. along louisiana highway 86 near big don lane. When troopers and first responders arrived, they found that hulin’s vehicle had veered off the roadway and overturned. He was discovered with severe injuries, prompting emergency crews to provide immediate medical aid before transporting him for further treatment.

According to early findings, hulin had been traveling east on la-86 when his vehicle failed to make it through a curve. The car left the roadway and overturned, though investigators have not yet determined what caused him to lose control. State police emphasized that the investigation is still active as they work to understand all factors that may have contributed to the crash.
As part of routine procedures in serious or fatal collisions, a toxicology sample was taken and sent for analysis. Officials noted that these results may take time to process and could help clarify whether any additional factors played a role. Troopers are also reviewing roadway conditions, vehicle damage, markings at the scene, and any witness information to build a complete picture of what happened that evening.
The loss of stuart hulin has deeply affected the st. martinville community, where he was known and cared for by many. While no further personal details have been released, his passing serves as a painful reminder of how quickly tragedy can strike on rural highways.
