TROOP A NEWS RELEASE Zachary Woman Killed in Livingston Parish Crash Denham Springs – Shortly before 12:00 pm on March 29, 2020, Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop A began investigating a single vehicle fatality crash on LA Hwy 16 north of LA Hwy 1032 (4-H Club Rd.) in Livingston Parish. The crash took the life of 20-year-old Daylin Alaniz of Zachary. The initial investigation revealed the crash occurred as Alaniz and her passenger were traveling southbound on LA Hwy 16 in a 2012 Ford Mustang. For reasons still under investigation, the Mustang ran off the roadway to the left and struck a utility pole. After striking the utility pole, the vehicle then struck a tree bordering the roadway and became engulfed in flames. Due to the severity of the fire, seatbelt usage is unknown at this time. Alaniz suffered fatal injuries as a result of the crash and was pronounced deceased on scene. The passenger sustained serious injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment. Impairment is unknown at this time, but an autopsy and toxicology report will be completed by the coroner’s office. This crash remains under investigation. Louisiana State Troopers wish to remind motorists that all occupants in a vehicle must be restrained, regardless of seating position. 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 and always ensuring every occupant is properly restrained can often mean the difference between life and death.
