TROOP I NEWS RELEASE Eunice Woman Killed in Single-Vehicle Crash in St. Landry Parish St. Landry Parish – At approximately 9:15 p.m. on July 6, 2020, Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop I were notified of a single-vehicle crash on US Hwy 190 near Desiree Road in St. Landry Parish. The crash took the life of 34-year-old Jada Elizabeth Boulet of Eunice. The initial investigation by State Police revealed that the crash occurred as Boulet was driving a 2004 Toyota Camry eastbound on US 190 when, for unknown reasons, her vehicle ran off the roadway. Upon doing so, the Camry struck a culvert and overturned. Boulet was not restrained at the time of the crash and was ejected. She was transported to a local hospital where she ultimately succumbed to her injuries. Impairment is unknown and standard toxicology samples were obtained for analysis. This crash remains under investigation. Troopers witness, firsthand, the effects crash forces have on motor vehicles and the devastating effects of those forces on the human body. While not all crashes are survivable, proper seat belt usage can greatly increase the chances of surviving a crash by spreading out those forces across the strong bones of the body. Properly worn seat belts also help to keep the occupants of vehicles in their seat and protect the head and spine. Please be a responsible driver, obey speed limits, drive sober, buckle up, and avoid all distractions. Troop I has investigated 29 fatal crashes resulting in 32 deaths in 2020.
