By Calcasieu Staff

Published March 13, 2025

Des Allemands, Louisiana - Authorities are investigating the tragic crash that resulted in the death of 22-year-old Bret Flowers in Des Allemands, Louisiana. The incident occurred on Sunday, March 2, 2025, just before 6:00 PM. According to reports from the Louisiana State Police, the crash involved an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) driven by 28-year-old Tammy Flowers of Morgan City.

In the aftermath of the crash, standard toxicology samples were taken from Tammy Flowers. The results revealed that her Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) was above the legal limit at the time of the incident. This finding prompted Troopers with Louisiana State Police Troop B to secure an arrest warrant for Flowers, charging her with vehicular homicide and reckless operation through the 29th Judicial District Court.

On Wednesday, March 12, 2025, Tammy Flowers voluntarily turned herself in to the authorities. She was subsequently booked into the Nelson Coleman Correctional Center located in St. Charles Parish, where she is being held for the outstanding warrant. The investigation into the crash remains ongoing, with law enforcement working to gather all relevant details surrounding the incident.

An arrest is an indication that probable cause exists to believe the subject was involved in the offense alleged. All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
