Franklinton – On Friday, June 12, 2020 shortly after 5:00pm, Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop L responded to a fatal crash on LA 10 at its intersection with LA 439 in Washington Parish. The crash took the life of 49-year-old Lance S. Davis of Bogalusa.
The initial investigation led Troopers to determine that Davis was eastbound on LA 10 in a Kia Cadenza approaching LA 439. For unknown reasons, Davis’ vehicle exited the right side of LA 10 and continued eastbound until it crossed LA 439. Davis’ vehicle impacted a Chevrolet Impala that was stopped on LA 439 facing north and then drove into a wooded area. Davis sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead on the scene. Seatbelts were used by both drivers and impairment is not suspected. As a part of the crash investigation, a blood sample was collected for scientific analysis from Davis.
