TROOP E NEWS RELEASE February 13, 2018 Ball Woman Killed in Early Morning Wrong Way Crash Rapides Parish – Early this morning, a crash involving two vehicles killed a woman from Ball, LA and injured a man from Alexandria, LA. Troopers responded to the crash around 6:00 a.m., which occurred on LA Hwy 28 West, east of Gardner. The crash involved a 2011 Toyota Camry, driven by Imogene H. Jones (W/F 79 yrs) and a 2011 Dodge pickup, driven by Joseph P. Bordelon (W/M 45 yrs). The Toyota was eastbound on LA Hwy 28 West, traveling the wrong way, in the westbound lane. This action resulted in the Toyota colliding head on with the Dodge, which was traveling in the westbound lane. Jones was wearing her seat belt, but was pronounced dead. Bordelon was wearing his seat belt and sustained moderate injuries. He was transported to Rapides Regional Trauma Center for treatment. 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 four fatal crashes in 2018, resulting in four fatalities.
