| TROOP C NEWS RELEASE September 16, 2017 Unrestrained Houma Man Killed in Single Vehicle Crash Terrebonne Parish – Shortly after 5:30 this morning, Troopers from Troop C responded to a single vehicle fatality crash on LA 182 near the Mandalay Bridge. The crash took the life of 19 year old Cobie Dupre. The preliminary investigation revealed Dupre was traveling east on LA 182 in a 2007 GMC Sierra. Dupre entered a left curve in the roadway when, for unknown reasons, he crossed the center line and ran off of the roadway to the left. Dupre’s vehicle struck several trees and overturned. He was not wearing his seat and suffered fatal injuries as a result of the crash. Dupre was pronounced deceased on scene by the Terrebonne Parish Coroner’s Office. Impairment is not suspected to be a factor in the crash; however, 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.
