TROOP G NEWS RELEASE September 9, 2016 Webster Parish Crash Claims the Life of a Sibley Man Webster Parish-On September 9, 2016, at 4:30 a.m., Louisiana State Police Troop G responded to a report of a single vehicle crash on US Highway 371 just south of Minden that claimed the life of a Sibley man. The preliminary investigation revealed that a 2000 Chevrolet pickup driven by 26-year-old Curt Lary of Sibley was traveling south on US HWY 371 when, for reasons still under investigation, he lost control of his vehicle, exited the roadway, and collided with a tree. Lary was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash, but still sustained life threatening injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene by the Webster Parish Coroner. Impairment and speed are suspected factors in this crash. A toxicology sample was obtained, and will be submitted for analysis. This crash remains under investigation. Each year, on Louisiana’s highways, numerous people are killed or seriously injured in automobile crashes that involve impaired drivers. In 2015, 48% of the fatal crashes in Troop G involved impaired drivers. Motorists are asked to designate a sober driver before traveling to any place where alcohol will be consumed. Drive sober or get pulled over. Contact Information: | |||
