Longview Man under Investigation in Fatal Louisiana Wreck

DeSOTO PARISH, LA. — A Longview man is under investigation after he allegedly ran a stop sign that resulted in a Louisiana death. KETK reports that shortly after 7:30 Thursday morning, Louisiana state troopers were called to a two-vehicle crash on U.S. Highway 84 at the intersection of Interstate Highway 49. When officials arrived, they discovered John Cline, 27, of Longview, was driving south on I-49 when he exited Highway 84. Authorities say Cline failed to stop at the stop sign and hit a car heading west driven by Carly Deemer, 23, of Coushatta, Louisiana.

Deemer and her passenger, Georgia Wilson, 19, of Coushatta, were not wearing belts. Deemer was pronounced dead at the scene by the DeSoto Parish coroner. Wilson sustained serious injuries from the crash and was flown to a Shreveport hospital for treatment. Toxicology samples were obtained and submitted for analysis. Cline was cited for failure to obey a stop sign.
