| TROOP C NEWS RELEASE July 22, 2017 Driver Ejected in Terrebonne Parish Fatal Crash Houma – Shortly after 2:00 a.m. this morning, Troop C was notified of a single-vehicle fatality crash on LA 660 near Goodman Court. The crash took the life of 50 year Steven Belanger of Houma. The preliminary investigation revealed Belanger was traveling north on LA 660 in a 2015 Dodge pick-up. He entered a left curve in the roadway and ran off of the road to the right. His vehicle then struck a driveway and began to roll over several times. Belanger was not wearing his seat belt and was ejected from his vehicle. He sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased on scene by the Terrebonne Parish Coroner’s Office. Alcohol and drug use is unknown and a standard toxicology report is pending through the Coroner’s office. 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.
