TROOP A NEWS RELEASE Unrestrained Driver Killed in Livingston Parish Crash Livingston Parish – Shortly before 2:00 am on February 25, 2019, Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop A began investigating a single vehicle fatality crash on LA Hwy 43 north of LA Hwy 442 in Livingston Parish. The crash took the life of 55-year-old Ciro Demonica Jr. of Albany. The initial investigation by State Police revealed that the crash occurred as Demonica was driving a 2002 GMC Yukon southbound on LA Hwy 43. For unknown reasons, the Yukon ran off the roadway to the right. The vehicle then entered a ditch and overturned. Demonica was unrestrained at the time of the crash. He suffered fatal injuries as a result and was pronounced deceased on scene by the Livingston Parish Coroner’s Office. Impairment is unknown at this time. A toxicology sample was obtained from Demonica and submitted to the Louisiana State Police Crime Lab for analysis. This crash remains under investigation. Louisiana State Troopers wish to remind motorists that all occupants in a vehicle must be restrained, regardless of seating position. While not all crashes are survivable, statistics show that the chances of surviving a crash rise significantly when properly restrained. Making good choices while in motor vehicles such as never driving while impaired and always ensuring every occupant is properly restrained can often mean the difference between life and death.
