Trigger Warning: This article mentions tragic details about accidents and death
In a recent heartbreaking tragedy, a young couple from the state of Louisiana died in two separate car crashes just hours apart on the morning of Friday, May 16, 2025. Alexus Lee, 25, and her fiancé, John “JR” Collins, had a beautiful family with their 4-year-old son, Gabriel. The couple had a promising future ahead as the pair was preparing for a February 2026 wedding and settling into a new home.
As informed by the Louisiana police, the devastating crash took place when Alexus Lee was driving a 2013 Toyota Highlander north on LA 67 at 2 a.m., and then she lost control of the vehicle. Her SUV veered off the road, struck a culvert, and overturned. The 25-year-old was declared dead at the scene.
As per The Shade Room, Alexus Lee was alone when the incident took place, but the authorities informed her fiancé, John “JR” Collins, about it. Sadly, merely under two hours later, around 3:45 a.m., JR was en route to the crash site when he, too, was involved in a fatal accident, as per a report.
Police say he was driving a 2016 Chevrolet Camaro southbound on LA 67 in East Feliciana Parish when he failed to navigate a curve, causing his car to leave the roadway and hit a tree.
