Nine dead, six hurt in Louisiana collision last week

BATON ROUGE, La. (WNTZ) – Louisiana State Police said troopers investigated eight fatal crashes statewide between Sept. 8 and Sept. 14, leaving nine people dead and six others injured.

According to the weekly crash summary, three of the victims were not wearing seat belts at the time of the collisions.

While investigations into the crashes remain ongoing, state police said the week’s numbers highlight the importance of safe and responsible driving. Troopers urged motorists to buckle up on every trip, avoid impaired driving, stay alert and distraction-free, and maintain safe distances and speeds appropriate for road conditions.

“Every life lost on our roadways is more than just a number — it’s someone’s family member, friend, or neighbor,” LSP said in the release. “Let’s work together to keep Louisiana’s roads safe for everyone.”

More information and statewide crash reports are available on the Louisiana State Police website at lsp.org/community-outreach/news.
