On July 7, 2025, at approximately 9:30 a.m., Troopers with Louisiana State Police Troop L responded to a single-vehicle crash on LA Hwy 40 near Barker Road in St. Tammany Parish. The crash claimed the life of 64-year-old Houston Dutruch of Covington.
The preliminary investigation revealed that a 1998 Ford F-800 pulling a trailer, driven by Dutruch, was traveling southbound on LA Hwy 40. For reasons still under investigation, the Ford traveled off of the roadway to the right. As a result, the Ford struck a culvert and overturned onto its roof.
Dutruch, who was properly restrained, sustained fatal injuries. He was pronounced deceased at the scene. As part of the ongoing investigation, a routine toxicology sample was obtained from Dutruch for analysis.
