Des Allemands, LA (October 27, 2024) – A tragic two-vehicle crash occurred on Highway 90 in Lafourche Parish on Friday morning, resulting in the death of a Lafayette woman. According to Louisiana State Police, the accident was reported around 11:00 a.m.
The victim, identified as 38-year-old Lauren Womack, was pronounced dead at the scene after her 2015 Honda Odyssey collided head-on with a westbound 2024 Honda CR-V near Fonseca Lane. Investigators stated that Womack’s Odyssey was traveling east when it veered off the road, crossed a grassy median, and entered the westbound lanes, where it struck the CR-V. Tragically, Womack was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash, which contributed to her fatal injuries.
The driver of the Honda CR-V, who was wearing a seatbelt, sustained serious injuries and was transported to a hospital outside the area for treatment.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash, including toxicology samples from both drivers to determine if any substances may have contributed to the accident.
