Houma, Louisiana – An unrestrained Louisiana driver was killed in a nighttime single-vehicle crash on LA 57.

On March 17, 2023, Louisiana State Police (LSP) stated that LSP Troop C was notified of a single-vehicle fatal crash on Louisiana Highway 57 near Express Boulevard on March 16, soon after 10:00 p.m. Tyrone Singleton, 37, of Gibson, Louisiana, was killed in the crash.

According to preliminary investigations, Singleton was driving a 2007 Infiniti G35 north on LA Highway 57. The Infiniti crossed the centerline on a curve for unknown reasons, drove off the road to the left, struck a utility pole, and overturned.

A standard toxicology sample was collected from Singleton and submitted for analysis. This crash is still being investigated.

Louisiana State Police said that the most efficient technique to protect oneself while driving or riding in a car is to buckle up. It takes only seconds to do and can lessen the risk of serious injury or death in the event of a crash. Remember to buckle up before beginning your adventure, no matter how brief it is.
