Sabine Parish – On August 26, 2025, at approximately 9:40 p.m., Louisiana State Police Troop E responded to a fatal crash at the intersection of Progress Church Road and WPA Road. This crash claimed the life of 28-year-old Victoria Grantham of Pleasant Hill.
The initial investigation revealed that a 2025 Kia Seltos, driven by Grantham, was traveling south on WPA Road. For reasons still under investigation, Grantham failed to stop at the intersection, which caused the vehicle to leave the roadway and sequentially impact a tree.
Grantham, who was not restrained, sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead on-scene. Routine toxicology samples were obtained and submitted for analysis.
While the cause of this crash remains under investigation, distracted and inattentive driving continues to be a leading cause of crashes in our state. Louisiana State Police urges all motorists to stay alert while driving. A lapse in one’s awareness can have deadly consequences.
