TROOP G NEWS RELEASE Unrestrained Hall Summit Man Dies in Single Vehicle Crash Red River Parish – Just before 9:00 p.m. yesterday, Louisiana State Police Troop G responded to a single vehicle crash on LA 783 about three miles north of US 71that claimed the life of a Hall Summit man. The preliminary investigation revealed a 1998 Chevrolet pick-up truck driven by 40-year-old Clifton J. Harris of Hall Summit was traveling north on LA 783 at a high rate of speed. After crossing the centerline, the vehicle ran off the road and hit a culvert. Harris was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected from the vehicle. Due to the severity of his injuries, Harris was pronounced dead at the scene by the Red River Parish Coroner’s office. Impairment, speed and lack of seat belt usage are all suspected factors in this fatality crash. Toxicology samples were taken and submitted for analysis. This crash remains under investigation. Louisiana State Troopers wish to remind motorists that always wearing a seat belt, avoiding all distractions, obeying the posted speed limit, avoiding fatigued driving, and not driving while impaired can often mean the difference between life and death.
