A 26-year-old Tallulah woman died in a one-car wreck on U.S. 80 near Mound, La., on Friday night, Louisiana State Police public affairs officer Trooper Mark Dennis said.

Stephanee David, address unknown, was traveling west in a 2004 Dodge Neon when she lost control of the car, veered off the left side of the road into a ditch, became airborn and hit an embankment, Dennis said.

The crash was discovered around 7:45 p.m. Friday but is thought to have occurred sometime after 2 a.m., when David left her job in Madison Parish, the last place she was seen. Sheriff’s deputies had investigated a missing person report on David.

David was not wearing a seat belt, authorities said. Routine alcohol and other toxicology tests were ordered.

Louisiana State Police Troop F Troopers have investigated 10 fatal crashes in 2010, including two recent motorcycle crashes on Interstate 20 in Madison Parish.
