Oklahoma Woman Killed, Passenger Injured in Single-Vehicle Bossier Parish Crash

Plain Dealing – This morning, at approximately 12:25 a.m., Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop G responded to a single-vehicle crash on Demoss Hill Road near Old Plain Dealing Road. The crash claimed the life of 31-year-old Amelia Swindell of Tulsa, OK.

The preliminary investigation revealed that a 2013 Nissan Sentra, driven by Swindell, was traveling west on Demoss Hill Road. For reasons still under investigation, the Nissan exited the roadway and collided with a tree.

Swindell, who was unrestrained at the time of the crash, sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene. A passenger in the vehicle, who was unrestrained, sustained minor injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment. 

Impairment on the part of Swindell is suspected. Standard toxicology samples were taken and submitted for analysis. This crash remains under investigation.

Troopers wish to remind motorists of the importance of making good decisions while in motor vehicles. Never drive while impaired, fatigued, or distracted. Additionally, Louisiana law requires that every person inside a motor vehicle, regardless of seating position, always remain properly restrained. While not all crashes are survivable, taking simple precautions like these can mean the difference between life and death.
