Raceland Man Killed On LA 182 In Gibson
Gibson, LA- Shortly before 8 PM yesterday evening, a Raceland man was killed after his vehicle left the roadway and struck a tree in Gibson, LA.
The investigation revealed that a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado was traveling west on LA 182 in Gibson, LA. The Silverado was being driven by Tommy Lebouef (W/M age 34) of Raceland, LA. The Silverado was exiting a left-hand curve when it left the roadway and struck a tree. Lebouef, who was not wearing a seat belt, was pronounced dead on the scene by the Terrebonne Parish Coroner’s Office.Alcohol use is suspected to be factor for Lebouef. Routine toxicology tests are pending. This crash remains under investigation.
Troopers remind motorists of the dangers of impaired driving. While there have been fewer deaths associated with impaired driving in recent years, there is still much room for improvement. While not all crashes are survivable, proper use of seat belts can greatly decrease an occupant’s chance of death and may greatly reduce the extent of injury. Louisiana law requires every vehicle occupant, front seat and back seat, to be properly restrained day or night. Taking the time to buckle up every trip and every time is the single most effective thing you can do to protect yourself in a crash.
Motorists that witness hazardous situations are urged to call *LSP (*577) and report that activity to the Louisiana State Police.
