Authorities in Shreveport are investigating a tragic early-morning crash that claimed the life of 25-year-old Xavier Dewayne Green. The single-vehicle accident occurred Sunday along the Terry Bradshaw Passway, leaving the community shaken and prompting a detailed inquiry into what may have caused the fatal incident.
According to preliminary information from officials, the crash unfolded shortly after 4:20 a.m. as Green was traveling westbound on State Highway 3132 near West 70th Street. For reasons still under investigation, the truck he was driving veered off the roadway. Once the vehicle left the traffic lanes, it began to overturn repeatedly before colliding forcefully with a nearby tree—a devastating sequence that underscored the severity of the crash.
During the violent rollover, Green was ejected from the truck. Emergency responders arrived within minutes, but despite their rapid efforts, he was pronounced deceased at the scene. Officials noted that the condition of the vehicle and the impact against the tree indicated a high-intensity collision that offered little opportunity for survival.
The Shreveport Police Department has launched a full investigation to determine what led to the truck leaving the roadway. Crash reconstruction teams will examine tire marks, the vehicle’s mechanical condition, roadway factors, and environmental conditions at the time of the incident. As part of standard procedure, toxicology tests have also been ordered to help rule out or identify any contributing factors. Authorities emphasized that the investigation remains active, and further details will be shared once all reports have been analyzed.
Local residents familiar with the area say the stretch of SH 3132 where the crash occurred is known for fast-moving early-morning traffic and reduced visibility, especially before sunrise. Officials continue to encourage drivers to remain alert, reduce speed when appropriate, and exercise caution on high-speed roadways—conditions where even small errors can have catastrophic consequences.
Green’s passing has brought sorrow to family, friends, and the wider Shreveport community. Sudden tragedies like this highlight not only the fragility of life but also the importance of roadway awareness. As the investigation moves forward, officials remain focused on uncovering the cause of the crash while community members offer support and sympathy to the loved ones grieving this profound loss.
