Red River firefighters, Sheriff’s deputies, and EMS were dispatched to a wreck this week at Hwy 1 and 509.  The early morning single truck accident resulted in the driver being transported to the LSU trauma center with burns to his side.  

Firefighters controlled and extinguished the fire, and deputies worked closely with them and EMS personnel to manage the scene safely and efficiently, ensuring emergency crews could provide the care and support needed.

The Louisiana State Police is the primary investigative agency for the incident.  

The Red River Sheriff’s office commented that “The cooperation between all agencies, law enforcement, fire, and EMS shows the strength of teamwork in Red River Parish. Each responder plays a vital role, and together we’re committed to protecting and serving our community with dedication and integrity”.
