Fordoche Woman Killed in Single-Vehicle Crash

BATON ROUGE – A single-vehicle crash on LA 77 south of LA 10 in Pointe Coupee Parish claimed the life of a Fordoche woman today shortly before 3:00 pm. Josie M. Taylor (W/F, age 80) of Fordoche was driving a 1999 Plymouth Neon north on LA 77 when she entered a left-hand curve. The vehicle ran off the road to the right, re-entered the roadway, began rotating counter-clockwise, and ran off the road to the left. The vehicle then overturned, struck several trees, and came to rest on its roof near the trees.

Taylor was pronounced deceased on the scene by the Pointe Coupee Parish Coroner’s Office. Alcohol is not suspected to have been a factor in this crash. However, Troopers have submitted a sample of Taylor’s blood to the Louisiana State Police Crime Lab for chemical analysis.
