TROOP B NEWS RELEASE Troopers Investigate Single Vehicle Fatal Crash on LA 3134 Marrero – On June, 26, 2020 shortly after 9:30 PM, Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop B responded to a single vehicle fatal crash on LA 3134 [Leo Kerner/Lafitte Parkway] in Jefferson Parish. The crash has claimed the life of 61-year-old Vera Mae Adams of Barataria. The initial investigation led Troopers to determine that the crash occurred as Adams was driving a 2006 Toyota Avalon northbound on LA 3134 near Pelican Bay Blvd. For reasons still under investigation, Adams’ vehicle traveled off the roadway and crashed into a tree in the median. Adams was unrestrained at the time of the crash. She was transported to an area hospital, where she was pronounced deceased. Impairment is not suspected to have been a factor in this crash. Troopers are investigating if a medical event may have preceded this crash. As part of the ongoing investigation, blood samples were collected for scientific analysis. Louisiana State Troopers wish to remind motorists to make good, safe decisions such as never driving while impaired, always ensuring every occupant is properly restrained, obeying the speed limit, and avoiding all distractions. While not all crashes are survivable, statistics show that the chances of surviving a crash rise significantly when properly restrained. Contact Information: | |||
