Unrestrained Driver Killed in Bossier Parish Crash

Bossier Parish – On September 1, 2019, shortly before 7:00 a.m., Troopers assigned to Louisiana State Police Troop G began investigating a fatal crash on U.S. Highway 80, near of Louisiana Highway 164. The crash took the life of a Sibley man.

The preliminary investigation revealed a 2001 Chevrolet Suburban, driven by 21-year-old Galen Green of Sibley, was traveling west on U.S. Highway 80. For reasons still under investigation, the vehicle exited the highway and struck a concrete culvert. Green, who was not restrained, was ejected from the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene.

A toxicology sample was obtained and will be submitted for analysis. This crash remains under investigation.

Buckling up is the single most effective thing you can do to protect yourself in a crash. Failure to take a few seconds to buckle up can have devastating consequences. Louisiana law requires every person in a vehicle, regardless of seating position, to be properly restrained day or night.

In 2019, Troop G has investigated 18 fatal crashes resulting in 20 deaths.
