Shortly before 3 p.m. on Monday, Louisiana State Police Troop D troopers began investigating a single-vehicle fatality crash on U.S. 190 near Bornsdall Road in Jefferson Davis Parish. The crash claimed the life of 36-year-old Chelsea Wilson of Eunice.
The preliminary investigation revealed that Wilson was driving a 2005 Toyota Tacoma west on U.S. 190. For reasons still under investigation, the Toyota crossed the centerline before traveling off the roadway to the left and striking a tree.
Wilson, who was unrestrained at the time of the crash, sustained fatal injuries and died at the scene.
A standard toxicology sample was collected and submitted for analysis. This crash remains under investigation.
Troopers wish to remind all motorists to make good decisions while in a motor vehicle. Never drive impaired, fatigued, or distracted. Additionally, Louisiana law requires that every person in a vehicle, regardless of seating position, always remain buckled up. While not all crashes are survivable, these precautions can dramatically reduce your chances of being severely injured or killed.
