TROOP L NEWS RELEASE Unrestrained Driver Killed in Fatal Crash on US 190 Lacombe – On Monday August 12, 2019 at approximately 3:30 AM, Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop L responded to a single vehicle fatal crash on US 190 near LA 434 in St. Tammany Parish. The crash has claimed the life of 54-year-old Patrick Kevin Catanese of Magnolia, MS. The initial investigation led Troopers to determine that the crash occurred as Catanese was driving a 2015 Toyota Tacoma eastbound on US 190. For reasons still under investigation, Catanese’s vehicle traveled off the roadway, entered a grass ditch and impacted a concrete drain wall. After impact, the truck overturned and crashed into a tree. Catanese was unrestrained and sustained fatal injuries in the crash. He was pronounced deceased on scene. As part of the ongoing investigation, blood samples were collected for analysis. 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, always ensure every occupant is properly restrained, and follow all traffic laws. Taking simple precautions such as these can often mean the difference between life and death. Contact Information: | |||
