TROOP E NEWS RELEASE January 11, 2017 Unrestrained Florida Woman Killed in Single Vehicle Crash Grant Parish – Earlier today, a single vehicle crash killed a woman from Naples, FL that was not wearing a seat belt. Troopers responded to the crash around 9:50 a.m., which occurred on US Hwy 71 north of LA Hwy 158. The crash involved a 2002 BMW, driven by Carolyn S. Trissler (W/F 56 yrs). The BMW was southbound on US Hwy 71 when Trissler lost control and exited the right side of the roadway. After exiting the roadway, the vehicle collided with a culvert, before colliding with some trees. Trissler was pronounced dead. Routine toxicology tests are pending. The crash remains under investigation. Louisiana State Police would like to take this opportunity to remind/inform motorists that properly wearing your seat belt will dramatically reduce your chance of being injured or killed in a crash. We ask you to take one second to “buckle up!” Louisiana law requires that every person in a vehicle, regardless of seating position, always remain buckled up. Not wearing a seat belt remains the leading cause of death in motor vehicle crashes. Troop E Troopers have investigated one fatal crash in 2017, resulting in one fatality.
