The crash claimed the life of a woman from Clarks, LA. The initial investigation revealed a 2003 Ford Windstar van, driven by 32-year-old Stephanie Kirby, was traveling eastbound on LA Hwy 126. For reasons still under investigation, the vehicle traveled off the road into a ditch and began to rollover. Kirby, who was unrestrained, was ejected from the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene. A toxicology sample was obtained and will be submitted for analysis. The crash remains under investigation. Buckling up is the most effective way to protect yourself in a crash. Failure to take a few seconds to buckle up can have devastating consequences. Louisiana law requires every person in a vehicle, regardless of seating position, to be properly restrained day or night. In 2020, Troop F has investigated 19 fatal crashes resulting in 20 deaths.
