TROOP E NEWS RELEASE Unrestrained Driver Killed in Avoyelles Parish Crash Avoyelles Parish – On June 30, 2020, shortly before 1:00 a.m., Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop E began investigating a three-vehicle, fatal crash on Louisiana Highway 1179 at Duplechain Road. This crash took the life of a Plaucheville woman. The initial investigation revealed a 2018 Ford Fusion, driven by 62-year-old Patricia Guillory, was traveling northbound on Louisiana Highway 1179. For reasons still under investigation, Guillory failed to negotiate a curve and drove off the right side of the highway. After leaving the highway, the Ford Fusion impacted a tree and struck two unoccupied vehicles parked at a private residence. Guillory, who was unrestrained, sustained life-threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead. A toxicology sample was obtained and submitted for analysis. This crash remains under investigation. Louisiana State Police would like to take this opportunity to remind/inform motorists that properly wearing your seat belt is one of the most important decisions that a motorist can make. 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. Always ensuring every occupant is properly restrained can often mean the difference between life and death. Contact Information: | |||
