Teen Dies in Ouachita Parish Crash

A sixteen-year-old girl has died in a one vehicle crash in western Ouachita Parish.

Louisiana State Police Troop F Troopers responded to the crash on June 3, 2010 at about 10:00 pm. The investigation revealed that a 1996 Chevrolet Sierra truck was traveling south on LA 557, near Dulaney Rd, when the driver failed to negotiate a left hand curve. The truck ran off the west side of the road and slid sideways until it struck a tree in the area of the passenger door.

The driver, a sixteen year old juvenile from Columbia, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Ouachita Parish Coroner's Office. The teen driver was not wearing her seat belt at the time of the crash. Alcohol use is not suspected, but routine toxicology tests are pending.

In 2010, Louisiana State Police Troop F Troopers have investigated fifteen (15) fatal crashes resulting in fifteen (15) deaths.
