Norma Clements, 86, of Centerville, tragically lost her life following a two-vehicle collision on U.S. Highway 90 near Louisiana Highway 182 on Friday morning, June 13, 2025.

According to Louisiana State Police, the crash occurred just before 10:00 a.m. when Clements, driving a 2013 Nissan Rogue, was stopped at the intersection on LA 182. As she attempted to cross U.S. 90 heading south, her vehicle moved into the path of a westbound 2022 Ford F600 Super Duty truck hauling a trailer. Despite the Ford driver’s attempt to avoid a crash, the truck collided with the left side of Clements’ vehicle.

Authorities reported that the Ford driver showed no signs of impairment and voluntarily submitted a breath sample, which revealed no alcohol. A routine toxicology sample from Clements has been sent for analysis as the investigation continues.
