TROOP G - NEWS RELEASE November 21, 2014 Crash Claims the Life of A Haughton Man Bossier Parish-On November 20, 2014, at 9:10 p.m., Louisiana State Police Troop G responded to a report of a single vehicle crash on Sligo Road at Bayou Loop that claimed the life of a Haughton man. The preliminary investigation revealed that a 2008 Ford F-250 driven by 67-year-old J.C. Marshall Jr. of Haughton was traveling east on Sligo Road when it exited the roadway, struck a culvert, and crashed into a tree. Marshall, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Bossier Parish Coroner. Impairment is suspected to be a factor in this crash. A toxicology sample was obtained from Marshall and will be submitted for analysis. The crash remains under investigation. Louisiana law requires motor vehicle occupants to be properly restrained in every seating position, day and night. Wearing a seatbelt significantly reduces the likelihood of being seriously injured or killed as the result of a crash and is the single most effective thing motorists can do to protect themselves. Motorists are encouraged to always make the smart choice and to wear their seatbelt. This crash serves as yet another tragic reminder of how important this decision can be. Contact Information: | |||
