| TROOP F NEWS RELEASE June 21, 2020 Oak Grove Man Killed in Head-On Crash Morehouse Parish – On June 21, 2020, shortly before 4:30 p.m., Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop F began investigating a two-vehicle, fatal crash on Louisiana Highway 2 just east of Mer Rouge. This crash claimed the life of 28-year-old Trapper Munn of Oak Grove. The initial investigation revealed a 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe, driven by Munn, was traveling westbound on Louisiana Highway 2. For reasons still under investigation, Munn drove his vehicle across the centerline into the eastbound travel lanes and struck the front of a 2019 Ford F-250. Munn, who was properly restrained, sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead. The driver of the Ford, who was also properly restrained, sustained moderate injuries and was transported to a local hospital. Toxicology samples were 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. Motorists should keep in mind that only stopping at a stop sign in not enough. Motorists must also clear the intersection or yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic. 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. In 2020, Troop F Troopers have investigated 24 fatal crashes resulting in 25 deaths. Contact Information: | |||
