TROOP L NEWS RELEASE Unrestrained Driver Killed on LA 437 in St. Tammany Parish Covington- On Friday June 21, 2019, at approximately 10:00 PM, Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop L were notified of a serious injury crash on LA 437 near Playmakers Rd. in St. Tammany Parish. The crash has claimed the life of 42-year-old Eric Jason Quave of Bogalusa. The initial investigation led Troopers to determine that the crash occurred as Quave was driving a 2015 Chevrolet Camaro northbound on LA 437. As Quave’s vehicle entered a right curve, his vehicle traveled into the southbound lane and into the ditch on the southbound side of the roadway. After entering the ditch, Quave’s vehicle impacted an embankment and overturned. Quave, who was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash, was ejected from his vehicle. He sustained severe injuries and was transported to St. Tammany Parish Hospital by Acadian Ambulance in critical condition. Shortly after Quave’s arrival, he succumbed to injuries sustained in the crash. As part of the ongoing investigation, blood samples were collected for scientific analysis. Troopers would like to remind motorists of the importance of safe decisions behind the wheel. Please take a moment to speak with your loved ones about the importance of their safe decisions. Remind them to always wear a seatbelt, never drive impaired, and to avoid distractions. The conversation could be the difference in a serious crash. Contact Information: S/T Dustin Dwight | |||
