Two Killed in Fatal Crash on LA 442

Tickfaw – On Saturday, April 4, 2020 shortly before 12:00 AM, Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop L responded to a fatal crash involving a single-vehicle on LA 442 near the Livingston Parish Line in Tangipahoa Parish. The crash has claimed the life of the driver and passenger that are pending identification.

The initial investigation led Troopers to determine that the crash occurred as a Dodge Dakota was traveling east on LA 442. For reasons still under investigation, the Dakota traveled off the roadway and struck a tree. After this impact, the vehicle ignited and became engulfed. Natalbany Fire Department extinguished the flames and located two occupants. The two occupants were pronounced deceased on the scene, and their identity is pending by the Tangipahoa Parish Coroner’s Office. The use of seat belts remains under investigation. As part of the ongoing investigation, blood samples were collected. The investigation is ongoing and no additional information is available at this time.

Louisiana State Troopers wish to remind motorists to make good, safe decisions such as never driving while impaired, always ensuring every occupant is properly restrained, obeying the speed limit, and avoiding all distractions which can often mean the difference between life and death.
