Louisiana Teenager Killed, Another Injured In Single-Vehicle Crash

November 2, 2011

An Iowa, Louisiana, teenager lost her life last Saturday after being involved in a single-vehicle crash. According to KPLCTV 7 News, the accident happened along rural Louisiana Highway 3059 in Calcasieu Parish, just before 6:00 PM on October the 28.

Authorities with the Louisiana State Police say that the 17-year-old girl was driving her 2001 Mercedes east along the highway with a passenger in the vehicle, when for an unknown reason, the drive veered off the shoulder of the road. The driver over corrected and cut across the other lane to the far side of the road. There, she hit a culvert, which caused the car to fly through the air and flip.

Both girls who were in the vehicle were taken to a local hospital to be evaluated. The passenger received moderate injuries, and was treated and released.  Upon arriving at the local hospital in critical condition, doctors decided the driver could be better treated in Houston, Texas, at another facility and had her transported. Doctors there were unable to stabilize the girl and she passed at 2:49 PM the following day.
