Arrests Made After Multiple Fatal Hit-and-Run Crashes

Recent fatal hit-and-run incidents in Louisiana and Arkansas have resulted in multiple arrests. In Texarkana, Arkansas, George Willis, 64, surrendered to authorities after being charged with leaving the scene of a collision that killed an Arkansas Department of Transportation contractor on I-30. In New Orleans, Dyllan Parr, 20, turned himself in after allegedly rear-ending a Mazda on I-10 East, resulting in the death of a 53-year-old woman; he admitted to fleeing and faces up to 10 years in prison. In Metairie, Jacob April, 43, was arrested for allegedly running over and killing a 22-year-old man lying in the street before fleeing the scene. These cases underscore persistent concerns about fatal hit-and-run incidents in the region. Law enforcement continues efforts to hold drivers accountable for such offenses.
