| TROOP F NEWS RELEASE July 8, 2020 Jonesboro Woman Killed in Jackson Parish Crash Jackson Parish – On July 7, 2020, shortly after 8:00 p.m., Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop F began investigating a fatality crash on Louisiana Highway 147 near Louisiana Highway 34. This crash claimed the life of 46-year-old Jennifer Westbrook of Jonesboro. The initial investigation revealed a 2014 Nissan Titan, driven by Westbrook, was traveling northbound on Louisiana Highway 147. For reasons still under investigation, Westbrook traveled off the highway and struck a tree. Westbrook, who was properly restrained, sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. A toxicology sample was obtained and submitted for analysis. This crash remains under investigation. While the cause of this crash remains under investigation, distracted and inattentive driving continues to be a leading cause of crashes in our state. Louisiana State Police urges all motorists to stay alert while driving. A lapse in one’s awareness can have deadly consequences. If motorists witness hazardous situations on any Louisiana highway, they may dial *LSP (*577) to be connected to the nearest Troop to report that activity.
