Louisiana State Police Troopers have continued to investigate a fatal crash that occurred on April 27, 2026, when the driver refused to stop for a traffic violation and fled from the Bogalusa Police Department. The passenger, 16-year-old Destiny M. Matran, was killed in the crash, and the driver, 19-year-old Daniel Allen Teoulet of Bogalusa, was seriously injured.
On April 27, 2026, at 9:30 p.m., Troopers with Louisiana State Police Troop L were requested by the Bogalusa Police Department to investigate a single-vehicle crash on West 9th Street and Avenue G. The preliminary investigation revealed that officers with the Bogalusa Police Department attempted to stop a 2004 Nissan 350Z for a traffic violation. The driver of the Nissan refused to stop, and a pursuit ensued. While fleeing from officers, the Nissan exited the roadway and struck a utility pole.
The investigation revealed that Teoulet’s actions, while attempting to evade law enforcement, directly contributed to Matran’s death. Based on these findings, LSP Troopers obtained an arrest warrant for Teoulet through the 22nd Judicial District Court for: Manslaughter, Aggravated Flight From an Officer, Reckless Operation of a Vehicle, No Seatbelt, and multiple traffic violations.
On Friday, May 29, 2026, Teoulet was taken into custody and booked into the Washington Parish Jail on his warrant. This crash remains under investigation.
