Winnsboro Man Killed in Single-Vehicle Richland Parish Crash

Mangham - On Sunday, November 03, 2024, shortly before 4:00 a.m., Troopers with Louisiana State Police Troop F began investigating a single-vehicle fatal crash on Louisiana Highway 132 west of Louisiana Highway 576. The crash claimed the life of 44-year-old Jarrod Flores of Winnsboro.

The initial investigation revealed that a 2017 Toyota 4Runner, driven by Flores, was traveling east on Louisiana Highway 132. For reasons still under investigation, the Toyota traveled off the left side of the road, struck a tree, and overturned. Flores, who was unrestrained, was pronounced dead at the scene. Impairment is a suspected factor in this crash. Routine toxicology samples were collected and will be submitted for analysis. This crash remains under investigation.

Troopers wish to remind motorists to always make good decisions while in a motor vehicle. Never drive impaired, fatigued, or distracted. Follow all traffic laws and ensure every occupant is properly restrained. While not all crashes are survivable, taking simple precautions such as these can often mean the difference between life and death.
