TROOP E NEWS RELEASE July 12, 2025 Natchitoches Woman Killed in Natchitoches Parish Crash Natchitoches Parish – On July 11, 2025, at approximately 11:46 p.m., Louisiana State Police Troop E responded to a two-vehicle crash on I-49 north of Natchitoches. The crash claimed the life of 76-year-old Marie A. Lacour of Natchitoches. The initial investigation revealed that a 2015 Dodge Charger and a 2018 Cadillac XTS, driven by Lacour, were northbound on I-49. For reasons still under investigation, the Dodge Charger failed to slow down and rear-ended the Cadillac. After impact, the Cadillac overturned and ejected Lacour from the vehicle. Lacour, who was not restrained, sustained severe injuries and was transported to a local medical facility where she was pronounced dead. The driver and passengers of the Dodge Charger, who also were not restrained, sustained no injuries. A toxicology sample was obtained and submitted for analysis. While the cause of this crash remains under investigation, distracted and inattentive driving continues to be a leading cause of crashes in our state. Louisiana State Police urges all motorists to stay alert while driving. A lapse in one’s awareness can have deadly consequences.
