Sun Resident Killed in Washington Parish Crash

Washington Parish – Early this morning, shortly after midnight, Louisiana State Police Troop L investigated a single vehicle fatal crash on LA 430 at milepost 8.2. The crash claimed the life of 26 year-old Monique Nunn of Sun, LA.

Troopers’ preliminary investigation revealed that Nunn was driving a 2005 Chevrolet Classic north on LA 430. For reasons still under investigation, Nunn lost control of the vehicle in a right curve and crossed the southbound lane. The vehicle then ran off the road and struck a tree. Nunn was pronounced dead on the scene. Nunn was wearing a seat belt and impairment is unknown, pending a toxicology test. The crash remains under investigation.

Although the exact cause of the crash is still under investigation, Troopers urge motorists to avoid all distractions while driving. Distractions, such as cell phones, passengers, radios, etc., take a driver’s focus away from the road. When focus is taken away from the road, the serious injury and fatality crash rate rises. To learn more about the dangers of distracted driving please visit the government’s official distracted driving website, www.distraction.gov. Troopers remind motorists to make good decisions behind the wheel; buckle up each and every ride, drive sober, and place your full attention on the road and other motorists.
