Alexandria Woman Seriously Injured In Crash Early this morning, a single vehicle crash seriously injured a woman from Alexandria, LA.
Troopers responded to the crash around 1:05 a.m., which occurred on LA Hwy 28, west of Alexandria, in Rapides Parish. The crash involved a 2003 Ford pickup, driven by Tiffany Irene Lester (W/F 27 yrs). The Ford was eastbound on LA Hwy 28 when Lester lost control and exited the left side of the roadway. After exiting the roadway, the vehicle began overturning in the median.
Lester was wearing her seatbelt, but was partially ejected. She was transported to Rapides Regional Medical Center in serious condition.
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.
