Caddo Sheriff’s deputies responded to a fatal crash that left a teenaged driver dead late last night said Sheriff Steve Prator.

The crash occurred last night just before 11 p.m. near the 8400 block of Springridge Texas State Line Rd. According to Sgt. Richard Smith, the driver 17 year-old Aliesha Robinson of Keithville lost control of the vehicle, left the roadway and struck a tree. Sheriff’s Traffic Safety Investigators believe excessive speed may have contributed to the crash.

Robinson was the only occupant of the vehicle and was unrestrained at the time of the crash.

The investigation is continuing.
