UWK spoke to Central Police Chief Roger Corcoran who is sounding the alarm that something must be done to reduce and prevent further serious and deadly crashes.<div style="position:relative;width:100%; height:0; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><iframe data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KonMlpknInE?feature=oembed" allowfullscreen src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KonMlpknInE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" style="width:100%; height:100%;top:0; left:0; position:absolute"></iframe></div>UWK has covered numerous crashes on that stretch in the previous several months alone, including the death of Juan Guerra in early September. Guerra was a beloved father, a dedicated EMT, and a fire rescue employee at Angola’s Dept. of Corrections. Josh Bordelon has lived on the dangerous stretch of Greenwell Springs for roughly three years and said he personally has assisted with as many as a dozen wrecks that have happened within feet of his home, including Guerra’s deadly accident. “I definitely was there in time to hear him breathe. I immediately tried to talk to him and he was unresponsive,” Bordelon said. Lewis Claverie has lived off the road for roughly 30 years. He said what started as a small, rural road has now grown into a serious point of anxiety for neighbors. “When you get out your driveway (on Greenwell Springs Rd.), if you don’t floor it, someone’s going to come up right behind you, start hollering and screaming at you because this road is for them. We’re not allowed to come in and out of our property,” Claverie said. UWK reached out to the Louisiana Dept. of Transportation and Development who said they are aware of issues on that stretch of roadway. They said they plan to lay rumble strips and reflectors on portions of Greenwell Springs Road but said that project isn’t expected to go out to bid for another two years.
