VINTON, La. – Louisiana State Police Troop D responded to a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 10 about 2 miles east of the Texas state line in Calcasieu Parish. The crash claimed the life of 25-year-old Claudia Williams of Orange, Texas.

The crash happened on April 12 shortly before 10:00 p.m. The investigation revealed a 2016 Chevrolet Equinox, driven by Williams, was traveling west in the eastbound lanes of travel on I-10 at a high rate of speed. At the same time, the driver of a 2022 Nissan Frontier was traveling east on I-10. The driver of the Nissan took evasive actions to avoid the crash, but struck the trailer of an unidentified 18-wheeler that was traveling east. After the impact with the 18-wheeler, the Nissan was sideswiped by the Chevrolet. The Chevrolet continued traveling west and struck a 2022 Kenworth 18-wheeler head-on.

Williams, who was unrestrained, was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Nissan and the driver 18-wheeler, who were both properly restrained, sustained minor injuries and were transported to area hospitals for treatment. Toxicology samples were obtained and will be submitted for analysis. This crash remains under investigation.
