TROOP E NEWS RELEASE October 17, 2017 Pollock Woman Killed in Grant Parish Crash Grant Parish – Earlier today, a single vehicle crash killed a woman from Pollock, LA. Troopers responded to the crash around 10:25 a.m., which occurred on US Hwy 165 at Ferguson Loop. The crash involved a 2006 Honda Odyssey, driven by Marion G. Morrison (W/F 85 yrs). The Honda was northbound on US Hwy 165 when Morrison lost control and exited the right side of the roadway. After exiting the roadway, the vehicle collided with a culvert, became airborne, and then collided with a ditch before it overturned one time. The Honda then came to rest upright, in the ditch it impacted. Morrison was wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash. She was transported to Rapides Regional Trauma Center where she was pronounced dead. Routine toxicology tests are pending. The crash remains under investigation. While not all crashes are survivable, seat belts can greatly decrease the occupant’s chance of death and will greatly reduce the extent of injury. Troop E Troopers have investigated 30 fatal crashes in 2017, resulting in 37 fatalities. Contact Information: | |||
