Piglia said the accident occurred sometime around 5:35 a.m. Sunday.
According to a report on the accident, Boe was traveling westbound on La. 44 when his vehicle veered into the eastbound lane and struck the Chevy Malibu, driven by 26-year-old Candice Singleton of Reserve, head on.

Piglia said Singleton was transported to River Parishes Hospital with minor injuries. A passenger in the Chevrolet, Myrtis Singleton, was also transported to River Parishes Hospital with moderate injuries.
Piglia said speed and foggy conditions at the time of the crash are considered factors in the accident. He said driver impairment is not considered a factor. Neither Boe nor Singleton had seatbelts on at the time of the crash.
Trooper Brandon Beaudoin is continuing the investigation.
