Louisiana State Police Troop A is currently investigating a fatal crash on LA 43 north of Springfield in Livingston Parish.  This is the second fatal crash in two days where a suspected impaired driver who was unrestrained has been killed in the Troop A area.

Troopers’ preliminary investigation revealed that Tanya Adams (W/F, age 35) of Hammond was driving a 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe north on LA 43 when she lost control of the vehicle and ran off the roadway to the right.  The vehicle became airborne and then rolled over, struck a wood fence, and came to rest on its roof.  Adams was partially ejected and sustained fatal injuries.  She was pronounced deceased on the scene by the Livingston Parish Coroner’s Office.

Troopers suspect that driver impairment was a factor in the crash and have submitted a sample of Adams’ blood to the Louisiana State Police Crime Lab for chemical analysis. The crash remains under investigation.
