Xavier Green was thrown from his truck after it flipped multiple times and slammed into a tree, and by the time police reached the scene at 4:20 a.m. on that dark, empty stretch of the Terry Bradshaw Passway, the 25-year-old was already gone. The crash happened in the quiet pre-dawn hours, at a time when most of Shreveport was still asleep and the roadway westbound near W. 70th Street was nearly deserted.
What caused Green to veer off the pavement remains the central question investigators are working to answer.According to Shreveport Police, the truck did not merely drift or slide—it careened off the road with enough speed to trigger a violent rollover sequence. The vehicle flipped repeatedly before slamming into a tree, the force of the impact so severe that Green was ejected.
First responders found him several feet away from the wreckage, a grim indication of the intensity of the crash. He was pronounced dead at the scene.As with all fatal investigations, toxicology testing has been ordered to determine whether alcohol, drugs, or any other substances may have contributed to the crash. Authorities emphasize that this is standard procedure, not an assumption of wrongdoing.
Mechanical failure, road conditions, or even a sudden medical emergency also remain possibilities. The Collision Reconstruction Unit is now analyzing skid marks, vehicle damage, roadway debris, and data from the truck’s onboard systems in hopes of piecing together the final moments before the fatal rollover.
News of Xavier Green’s death has left family, friends, and the broader Shreveport community heartbroken. Loved ones describe him as a young man full of potential, someone whose life ended far too soon on a quiet stretch of road. As investigators continue their work, many are simply grieving and searching for answers in the wake of a tragedy that unfolded in seconds.
