Car wreck in Cut Off, Louisiana kills one and injures other

Posted on Apr 08, 2011

A serious car wreck in Cut Off, Louisiana earlier this month has claimed the life of one Galliano, Louisiana woman and critically injured a teenage girl. The accident involved one SUV and an eighteen wheeler, sources say, and happened during the evening. All involved were tested for the use of substances after the wreck, but none were involved in this accident.

The evening wreck occurred when 39 year-old Karen Ledet was driving her SUV down local Louisiana highway 3161, and came to an intersection with Louisiana highway 3235. Ledet was trying to make a left turn onto the other highway, but failed to yield to an eighteen wheeler driven by Ronald Provost coming northbound down the highway. The trailer truck made direct impact with Ledet's vehicle.

A 15 year-old girl sitting in the front seat of Ledet's vehicle received critical injuries from the crash. Ledet herself did not survive the wreck, and died from injuries sustained in the accident. Ronald Provost did not receive any injuries from this accident. At this time, no citations have been made for the wreck. State Troopers have stated that they are still investigating this accident, and that citations might come in the future. No one involved in this accident was under the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol.

Being involved in a serious car wreck is serious business. Dealing with your injuries, the damages to your vehicle, and other matters can make getting compensation very difficult. Many big insurance companies will do everything in their power to give you the smallest amount of compensation possible. Sometimes that does not even cover the medical expenses. Many people choose to hire legal representation for that reason. Louisiana car accident lawyer Tim Young is an experienced attorney who will fight to get you proper compensation after an accident. So if you or a loved one have been involved in a serious car wreck, call his offices today at (866) 660-7220 for a free and confidential consultation.
