"Troopers have continued to investigate the crash that claimed the life of 22-year-old Bret Flowers in Des Allemands," Trooper Jacob Pucheu said in a news release. "Following the crash, standard toxicology samples were collected from the driver of the ATV, 28-year-old Tammy Flowers of Morgan City."
He says the results now show that Flowers’ blood alcohol content was over the legal limit at the time of the crash.
"Given the findings, Troopers with the Louisiana State Police Troop B obtained an arrest warrant for Flowers for Vehicular Homicide and Reckless Operation,"
She has now surrendered to authorities.
"On Wednesday, March 12, 2025, Flowers turned herself in to Troopers and was booked into the Nelson Coleman Correctional Center in St. Charles Parish for the outstanding warrant."
Pucheu says that Flowers was driving the ATV on Sunday, March 2, 2025; when she tried to pass another driver.
"The preliminary investigation revealed that 28-year-old Tammy Flowers of Morgan City was driving a 2008 Can-Am Outlander ATV east on LA 631 with Bret Flowers as a passenger. For reasons still under investigation, as the driver of the Can-Am attempted to overtake another eastbound vehicle, the ATV crossed the centerline and traveled off the roadway. It then struck the left front side of an unoccupied Jeep Cherokee parked on the westbound grassy shoulder."
Bret Flowers died three days later.
Neither he nor Tammy Flowers were wearing helmets.
