The preliminary investigation revealed that a 2015 Peterbuilt pulling an empty log trailer operated by 61-year-old Glenn Herrin of Plain Dealing was traveling south on LA 157, when for reasons still under investigation, he stopped and began to back into Grey Circle which was located on the east side of the roadway. As Herrin was backing into Grey Circle, his trailer was struck by a north bound 2004 Ford Taurus operated 33-year-old Brandy Brettillo of Plain Dealing.

Herrin was wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash and was not injured.

Brettillo was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash and sustained fatal injuries. Brettillo was pronounced dead at the scene by the Bossier Parish Coroner.

Impairment is not suspected, but toxicology samples were obtained and will be submitted for analysis. This crash remains under investigation.

Louisiana law requires motor vehicle occupants to be properly restrained in every seating position, day and night. Wearing a seatbelt significantly reduces the likelihood of being seriously injured or killed as the result of a crash and is the single most effective thing motorists can do to protect themselves.
