Vernon Parish
– On February 4, 2023, at approximately 7:03 p.m., Louisiana State Police Troop E responded to a fatal crash on Louisiana Highway 111 at Tom Beckcom Road. This crash killed an unidentified white female pedestrian.

The initial investigation revealed that an unidentified vehicle was traveling southbound on Louisiana Highway 111. For reasons still under investigation, a pedestrian was walking in the southbound lane and was struck by the unknown vehicle.  As a result of the crash, the pedestrian sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead on the scene.
