Troop L - NEWS RELEASE July 5th, 2015 Motorcyclist Dies in Washington Parish Crash Pine, Louisiana- Shortly after 1:30 PM on July 5th, 2015, Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop L investigated a fatal motorcycle crash on LA 62 in Pine. The crash claimed the life of 33 year old Brian Winslow of Lacombe, Louisiana. The initial on scene investigation led Troopers to determine that Winslow was traveling north on LA 62 operating a 2004 Honda Motorcycle. For reasons still under investigation, Winslow failed to safely negotiate a left hand curve and ran off the right side of the road. After exiting the roadway, Winslow struck a mailbox and was ejected from his motorcycle. Winslow was severely injured in the crash despite wearing a U.S. Department of Transportation approved helmet. He was air-lifted from the scene in critical condition to Northoaks Hospital. Shortly after 6:00 PM, Winslow succumbed to the injuries he sustained in the crash. Troopers do not suspect impairment to have been a factor in this crash. Louisiana State Troopers would like to remind motorists to remain vigilant and watch out for motorcycles. Motorcyclists must wear a proper U.S. D.O.T approved helmet when operating a motorcycle on Louisiana roadways. Although not every crash is survivable, utilizing proper safety equipment decreases your risk of serious injury or death.
