TROOP E NEWS RELEASE June 9, 2013 Early Morning Crash Claims The Life Of A Texas Resident Sabine Parish – Earlier today, a crash involving two vehicles killed a man from Diboll, TX. Troopers responded to the crash around 7:40 a.m., which occurred on LA Hwy 191 in Sabine Parish. The crash involved a 2009 Jeep Wrangler, driven by Tommy F. Tilley Jr. (W/M 29 yrs) and a 2012 Dodge Ram, driven by Earl John Broussard (W/M 65 yrs) of Baytown, TX. The Jeep was southbound on LA Hwy 191 when Tilley Jr. lost control and crossed the centerline before colliding with the northbound Dodge. After impact with the Dodge, the Jeep exited the left side of the roadway and collided with several trees. Tilley Jr. was wearing his seatbelt, but was pronounced dead. Broussard was wearing his seatbelt and received minor injuries. Routine toxicology tests are pending. The crash remains under investigation. While not all crashes are survivable, seatbelts can greatly decrease the occupant’s chance of death and will greatly reduce the extent of injury. Troop E Troopers have investigated 20 fatal crashes in 2013, resulting in 20 fatalities.
