On November 2, 2020 shortly before 1pm Houma Police responded to the 1400 block of Memory Lane in reference to an accident. Prior to arrival, it was reported that two males were riding a 4-wheeler in the area and crashed into a pole near an apartment. It was also reported to law enforcement that both riders were ejected from the ATV and severely injured.


When officers arrived on scene, they noticed both riders injured and had to be transported to medical facilities to be treated. Officers learned that one of the occupants of the ATV sustained severe injuries, while the other occupant sustained moderate injuries.
