How they died
Vehic/Purs
Isaac Jackson Jr. died after his motorcycle crashed into a car during a police chase. A St. James Parish Sheriff's detective (another source says it was a state trooper) noticed a black 2003 Kawasaki motorcycle parked on the shoulder of the Veteran Memorial Bridge in Gramercy at about 8 p.m. When the officer approached to check if the driver needed assistance, Jackson reportedly sped off, then exited Louisiana 3213 and headed east on Louisiana 18 toward St. John Parish. The officer pursued Jackson as he headed east on Louisiana 18; police said the officer gave up the chase when he lost sight of him. Jackson came out of a slight right curve at a high rate of speed and crashed into the rear of a 2008 Chevrolet Impala stopped in the eastbound lane. Jackson was thrown off, and the motorcycle split in half. One half hit a pickup, while another part hit a school bus. Jackson was taken by ambulance to St. James Parish Hospital, where he died. No one else was hurt.
