Single Vehicle Crash Kills One in Terrebonne Parish


Bourg – Shortly before 9:30 last night, Troopers with Troop C began investigating a fatality crash on Corral Way Drive. The crash took the life of 68-year-old Lolita Henry of Bourg.

The preliminary investigation revealed Henry was traveling south on Country Drive in a 2009 Kia Spectrum. She made a right turn onto Corral Way Drive when, for unknown reasons, she ran off of the roadway to the left. Henry’s vehicle struck a drain culvert and she suffered critical injuries. She was transported to Terrebonne General Medical Center by Acadian Ambulance Service where she was pronounced deceased. Seat belt use is unknown at this time and alcohol is suspected to be a factor in this crash. A standard toxicology test is pending and this crash remains under investigation.

Louisiana State Troopers would like to take this opportunity to remind motorists to always make good decisions while operating motor vehicles. Never drive while impaired, fatigued, or distracted. Always ensure every occupant is properly restrained, pay close attention to recent changes in child passenger seat laws, and follow all traffic laws. Taking simple precautions such as these can often mean the difference between life and death.
