Troopers Investigate Fatal Crash on Interstate 12
Madisonville – On Monday, November 4, 2019 at approximately 7:21 PM, Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop L responded to a serious injury crash involving one vehicle on Interstate 12 approximately 3 miles west of LA 1077 in St. Tammany Parish. The crash has claimed the life of 60-year-old John B. Poche of Hammond. The initial investigation led Troopers to determine that the crash occurred as Poche was driving a Hyundai Genesis west on Interstate 12 in the right lane. For reasons still under investigation, Poche’s vehicle traveled off the roadway to the left and impacted a tree. Despite being properly restrained, Poche sustained severe injuries in the crash. He was transported to an area hospital where he ultimately succumbed to his injuries. As part of the investigation, blood samples were collected by St. Tammany Parish Coroner’s Office for scientific analysis. The investigation remains ongoing as Troopers review the evidence. No additional information is available at this time. Contact Information:
