Unrestrained Driver Killed in Sabine Parish Crash

Sabine Parish – On September 28, 2020, around 6:45 a.m., Louisiana State Police Troop E responded to a fatal crash on Louisiana Highway 175 near Pleasant Hill. This crash claimed the life of 34-year-old Christopher Price of Many.

The preliminary investigation revealed a 2002 Buick passenger car, driven by Price, was traveling southbound on Louisiana Highway 175. For reasons still under investigation, Price’s vehicle traveled off the right side of the highway, struck a tree, and overturned. Price, who was unrestrained, was ejected from the vehicle and sustained fatal injuries. A toxicology sample was obtained and submitted for analysis. This crash remains under investigation.

Buckling up is the most effective way to protect yourself during a vehicle crash. Failure to take a few seconds to buckle up can have devastating consequences. Louisiana law requires every person in a vehicle, regardless of seating position, to be properly restrained day or night.

In 2020, Troop E has investigated 37 fatal crashes resulting in 45 deaths.
