The Tangipahoa Parish community is mourning the heartbreaking and tragic loss of 6-month-old Kaybri Robinson, whose life was cut short in a devastating crash on U.S. Highway 51 in Tickfaw on May 22, 2026.
According to Louisiana State Police Troop L, the crash occurred at approximately 11:50 p.m. when a 2013 Hyundai Elantra left the roadway and struck a culvert just south of LA Highway 1064. Emergency crews responded quickly to the scene, where multiple occupants were found injured inside the vehicle.
Despite emergency medical efforts and transport to a local hospital, baby Kaybri Robinson sadly passed away from injuries sustained in the crash.
Authorities confirmed that the infant was not properly restrained at the time of the collision. Investigators also reported that the crash involved additional unrestrained passengers and is believed to have been influenced by multiple contributing factors that remain under investigation.
News of Kaybri’s passing has left family members and the community devastated, as they grieve the loss of a life that had only just begun. Loved ones are holding onto the brief but deeply meaningful moments shared with her, remembering her as a precious child who brought love and joy to those around her.

As investigators continue their work, the community has come together in grief, offering prayers, support, and condolences to Kaybri Robinson’s family during this unimaginable time of loss. Her memory will forever remain in the hearts of those who loved her, cherished her, and mourn her far too soon.
