Unrestrained Driver Killed in Single Vehicle Crash


Bienville Parish – On December 16, 2010, at 10:40 a.m., Louisiana State Police Troop G responded to a single vehicle crash on Interstate 20 eastbound near milepost 62, one mile east of LA 154 in Bienville Parish. The crash claimed the life of a 39-year-old woman from Shreveport, LA.

According to investigating troopers, 39-year-old Teresa A. Hall was traveling east on Interstate 20 in a two door passenger car, when for unknown reasons, she lost control of the vehicle and traveled off the right side of the roadway. Thereafter, the vehicle traveled through a grassy ditch area and collided with a standing tree where Hall was ejected.

After the collision, the vehicle was completely destroyed by fire; therefore, the exact make and model has not been determined.

Hall, who was unrestrained at the time of the crash, was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Bienville Parish Coroner.

Routine toxicology test results are pending and the crash remains under investigation.

Troop G troopers have investigated 40 fatal crashes for the year of 2010, resulting in 46 fatalities.
