TROOP C - NEWS RELEASE June 23, 2014 Head-On Crash Kills a Cut Off Man in Lafourche Parish Fourchon, LA- Around 2:30 PM this afternoon, a 48 year old Cut Off man was killed when his vehicle traveled across the center line and stuck an eighteen wheeler head-on in Lafourche Parish. The investigation revealed that a 2009 Ford F-150 was traveling south on LA 3090, just south of LA 1 in Fourchon, LA. The F-150 was being driven by Patrick Terrebonne, (W/M age 48) of Cut Off, LA. For unknown reasons, the F-150 crossed the LA 3090 center line and entered the northbound lane.

The F-150 continued to travel across the northbound lane and onto the northbound shoulder where it struck the Peterbilt head-on. Terrebonne, who was wearing a seat belt, was pronounced dead on the scene by the Lafourche Parish Coroner’s Office.
