Houma – On July 31, 2026, shortly before 5:00 p.m., Louisiana State Police Troop C began investigating a two-vehicle fatal crash on Bayou Gardens Boulevard Extension near Louisiana Highway 660 in Terrebonne Parish. The crash claimed the life of 58-year-old Timothy Brewer of Houma.
The preliminary investigation revealed that a 2015 Kia Optima, driven by Brewer, was traveling west on Bayou Gardens Boulevard Extension. At the same time, a 2022 Honda CR-V was traveling east. For reasons still under investigation, the Kia crossed the centerline and entered the eastbound lane, striking the Honda head-on.
Brewer, who was unrestrained at the time of the crash, sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver of the Honda, who was properly restrained, sustained moderate injuries and was transported to an out-of-area hospital for treatment.
Routine toxicology samples were collected from both drivers and will be submitted for analysis. This crash remains under investigation.
Troopers wish to remind motorists to always make responsible choices when driving. Avoid impairment, fatigue, and distractions, and follow all traffic laws. Most importantly, ensure every occupant in the vehicle is properly restrained. Seat belts remain one of the most effective ways to prevent serious injury or death in a crash. While not all crashes are preventable, simple precautions like these can save lives.
