Passenger Killed in Two-Vehicle Crash in St. Martin Parish

UPDATE: December 27, 2019

A second passenger has succumbed to his injuries following the December 15th crash. That person was the front seat passenger in the Honda Accord and has been identified as 21-year-old Gannon Sam of Breaux Bridge. Despite having worn his seat belt, Sam ultimately suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased on December 27, 2019 at a local hospital.

Breaux Bridge – Shortly after 11:00 pm on December 15, 2019, Louisiana State Police Troop I began investigating a two-vehicle fatal crash on LA Hwy 347 near Claton Castille Road in St. Martin Parish. The crash claimed the life of 26-year-old Chayce Gobert of Breaux Bridge.

The preliminary investigation by State Police revealed Gobert was a rear passenger in a 2018 Honda Accord being driven southbound on LA Hwy 347 by 26-year-old Caitlyn Hebert. Hebert’s vehicle was struck by a northbound 2018 Ram pickup. It was determined by investigators that Hebert crossed the center line, into the path of the Ram pickup, as she attempted to turn left onto Clayton Castille Road.


Gobert was not restrained and suffered fatal injuries; he was pronounced deceased at the scene. Hebert, along with the driver of the Ram, was properly restrained, and both, suffered only minor injuries. Impairment is unknown, but toxicology samples were taken from the drivers for analysis. This crash remains under investigation.

Louisiana State Troopers would like to take this opportunity to remind motorists to always make good decisions while operating motor vehicles. Never drive while impaired, fatigued, or distracted, and follow all traffic laws. While not all crashes are survivable, wearing a seat belt greatly increases your chances of survival. Taking simple precautions such as these can often mean the difference between life and death.
