Jamie Pourciau, Bailey Lassabe Car Crash Albany, LS Death and Obituary

A quiet weekend in Albany was shattered by tragedy when a devastating wrong-way collision on Interstate 12 claimed three cherished lives in the early morning hours. The crash occurred near the Albany-Springfield exit when a car traveling in the wrong direction entered the westbound lanes and collided head-on with a recreational vehicle. The impact was catastrophic, igniting flames that engulfed the car. Despite the swift response of emergency personnel, three lives were lost at the scene.

Authorities later identified the victims as Jamie Pourciau, Bailey Lassabe, and Bailey’s 9-year-old son. The occupants of the RV survived with minor injuries, but the emotional aftermath of the collision has left a profound mark on the entire community.

Jamie is remembered as a steady and kind presence in Albany — someone who offered help without hesitation and friendship without condition. His quiet generosity and dependable nature earned him deep respect among neighbors and friends.

Bailey was known first and foremost as a devoted mother. Her world revolved around her son, and her love for him was evident in every aspect of her life. She carried herself with warmth and resilience, always putting family first and extending compassion to those around her.

Her young son, only nine years old, brought boundless energy and joy wherever he went. His laughter, curiosity, and bright spirit left impressions far beyond his years.

In a town where connections run deep, this loss is immeasurable. Vigils and memorial gatherings are being planned as Albany leans on faith, unity, and shared remembrance. Though their lives ended far too soon, the love they gave and the memories they created will endure in the hearts of all who knew them.
