Kentucky Woman Killed In Louisiana Crash
Tiffany Bowmer, age 20, from Florence, Kentucky was killed Sunday in a wreck in Vernon Parish, LA.
The wreck happened just before 4 a.m. on U.S. Highway 171, north of Rosepine.
Police have reported that Ms. Bowmer was traveling in a car driven by 20-year-old Cody A. Bundy, of Burlington, Ky., when Bundy lost control and left the right side of the road, went into a ditch and hit two trees.
Bundy was taken to an area hospital for treatment and reportedly received moderate injuries.
According to police, Bowmer was not wearing a seatbelt and was pronounced dead at the scene.
It is important to note that police often determine a victim was not wearing a seat belt simply because the victim was ejected or otherwise moved from their seat. However, that is not always the case. Often times, a seat belt was not in proper working condition at the time of the wreck, or was not designed to withstand a certain amount of force. An experienced attorney will hire an accident reconstructionist to examine the vehicle, the scene, and all the evidence, to determine how and why the wreck really happened and if the injuries to the victim could have been prevented.
