Between August 4 and August 10, Louisiana State Police investigated two fatal crashes across the state, resulting in two fatalities. At least one occupant in these crashes was unrestrained.
While these crashes remain under investigation, they underscore the importance of staying alert and making safe, responsible choices behind the wheel. LSP urges all motorists to make safety their top priority:
- Buckle up — every seat, every trip, every time.
- Never drive impaired — plan ahead and designate a sober driver.
- Stay alert — avoid distractions and focus on the road.
- Maintain a safe following distance and adjust speed for traffic and weather conditions.
