TROOP C NEWS RELEASE February 6, 2017 Unrestrained Gibson Woman Killed in Single Vehicle Crash Gibson, LA – Shortly after 5:00 pm this evening, Troop C was notified of a single-vehicle fatality crash on North Bayou Black Drive just west of Jarvis Street. The crash took the life of 46 year old Amy MacDougall of Gibson. The initial investigation revealed MacDougall was traveling east on North Bayou Black Drive in a 2003 Ford F-150. She entered a left curve in the roadway and her vehicle ran off of the road to the right. MacDougall steered to the left and lost control of her vehicle. She ran off of the road to the left and struck a driveway embankment where her vehicle rolled over. MacDougall was not wearing her seat belt and was ejected from her vehicle. She sustained fatal injuries as a result of the crash and was pronounced deceased by the Terrebonne Parish Coroner’s Office. Impairment is not suspected as a factor in the crash, but standard toxicology tests are pending. Louisiana State Troopers wish to remind motorists that while not all crashes are survivable, statistics show that the chances of surviving a crash rise significantly when properly restrained. Making good choices while in motor vehicles such as never driving while impaired, always ensuring every occupant is properly restrained, and avoiding all distractions can often mean the difference between life and death.
