NEWS RELEASE- Troop F December 1, 2012 Two Killed in Fatal Crash in Richland Parish On November 30, 2012, at 8:12 p.m., Troopers assigned to Louisiana State Police Troop F responded to a two vehicle crash on US Highway 425 south of Interstate 20 that killed two people. The preliminary investigation revealed that a 2001 Dodge Ram, driven by 69-year-old Herman Brown of Winnsboro, was traveling south on US Highway 425 in the wrong direction when it struck a 2011 Toyota Camry head-on, driven by 34-year-old Brandy Harris of Wisner, that was traveling north on US Highway 425. Brown and Harris suffered fatal injuries as a result of the crash and were pronounced dead at the scene by the Richland Parish Coroner’s Office. Alcohol on the part of Brown is suspected. Toxicology samples were obtained and will be submitted for analysis. The crash remains under investigation. The majority of fatal and serious injury crashes involve impaired drivers. Motorists should never get behind the wheel if they are impaired and should either stay where they are or call someone who is sober to pick them up. Troop F has investigated 27 fatal crashes which have resulted in 29 deaths so far this year. | |||
