Unrestrained Louisiana Man Killed in Log Truck Rollover Crash on LA 463
Rapides Parish, Louisiana – An unrestrained Louisiana man has been killed in a log truck rollover crash on LA 463.
According to Louisiana State Police (LSP), on Friday, March 3, 2023, at 11:20 a.m., LSP Troop E responded to a single-vehicle crash on Louisiana Highway 463 near Hineston, Louisiana. Joshua Scott, 44, of Leesville, Louisiana, was killed in the crash.
According to preliminary investigations, Scott was heading north on Louisiana Highway 463 in a 2021 Mack (loaded log truck). The automobile exited the route and overturned for reasons that are still being investigated.
Scott sustained fatal injuries while unrestrained and was pronounced dead at the scene by the Rapides Parish Coroner’s Office. A standard toxicological sample was sent in for testing. This crash is still being investigated.
Buckling up is the most efficient strategy to protect yourself during a vehicle crash, according to troopers. Failing to buckle up for a few seconds might have disastrous effects. Every individual in a vehicle, regardless of seating position, is required by Louisiana law to be properly restrained at all times.
Troop E has investigated seven fatal crashes so far in 2023, resulting in seven fatalities.
