Shreveport, LA (September 16, 2019) – Two women sustained fatal injuries in a head-on collision in Shreveport, Louisiana on Saturday night, September 14.

Sibley was traveling south in a 2010 Volvo when she crossed the centerline of the roadway, striking Richardson’s northbound Honda Accord head-on. Richardson was pronounced dead at the scene. Sibley was transported to Ochsner LSU Health Center where she later succumbed to her injuries. 

Routine toxicology tests are still pending.

Head-On Crashes in Baton Rouge

Crossing the centerline can result in catastrophic injuries. These head-on collisions have a tendency to result in fatal injuries. 10% of all deadly collisions involve head-on crashes in some form. 

When a driver drifts across the centerline, they are likely distracted and not paying proper attention to the road. Distractions are more prevalent than ever, with a majority of drivers admitting to texting and driving while behind the wheel. These poor decisions have the potential to take the life of another person.
