20-Year-Old Ejected in Single Vehicle Crash

Red River - On August 12, 2010, at 7:38 p.m., Louisiana State Police Troop G responded to a single vehicle crash on LA 1, at mile post 341, 1.5 miles north of the Natchitoches Parish line in Red River Parish, which ejected and seriously injured an unrestrained 20-year-old male from Opelousas.

According to investigating troopers, 20-year-old Clifford J. Henry was driving south on LA 1, when the rear left tire of the 2002 Chevrolet Silverado he was operating suffered a blow out. As a result, Henry lost control of the vehicle, veered off the right side of the road and drove through a fence. Thereafter, the Chevrolet Silverado entered a grassy field where it overturned and ejected Henry from the vehicle.

Henry, who was unrestrained at the time of the crash, was air lifted to LSUMC by Pafford Air One with serious injuries. Speed and tire failure are suspected to be factors in the crash.
