Single Vehicle Crash Claims One Life

Webster Parish- Late last night, at 10:20 p.m., Louisiana State Police Troop G responded to a single vehicle crash on Germantown Road (Parish Road #114), 4.4 miles south of LA 534 in Webster Parish, which claimed the life of a 51-year-old woman from Minden.

According to investigating troopers, 51-year-old Cynthia Ann Maxey was driving south on Germantown Road in a 1988 Mazda RX when for unknown reasons, she crossed over into the northbound lane of travel, overcorrected to the right, and lost control of the vehicle. Thereafter, Maxey ran off the right side of the road then struck a tree on the vehicle’s driver side.

Maxey, who was restrained at the time of the crash, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Webster Parish Coroner. Speed and impairment are suspected to be factors in the crash.

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

Troop G troopers have investigated 24 fatal crashes for the year of 2010, resulting in 27 fatalities.
