A single vehicle crash in Terrebonne Parish claims the life of a Houma man. Trooper Ross Brennan says 29-year-old Steven English was traveling at a high rate of speed on LA-315.
“The reason is still under investigation he traveled off the roadway toward the right while in a left curve overturned and the struck a tree,” said Brennan.
A toxicology sample is pending, however Brennan says investigators believe impairment was a factor.
“And it was also speed and also not wearing a seat belt so there were three factors that went into this particular crash,” said Brennan.
Brennan says impaired, distracted driving, speeding and not being properly restrained can be a recipe for disaster.
“Maybe if a better choice was made and that third factor wasn’t their he may have survived the crash and it still just shows you how one bad choice can lead to multiple other things,” said Brennan.
