Calcasieu Parish, LA (May 31, 2019) – A Texas woman has passed as the result of a tragic motorcycle accident earlier in the week. The date of the wreck was Sunday, May 26th, and the approximate time was at 9:45 a.m.

The wreck involved a 2012 Can-Am Spyder, a three-wheeled motorcycle, which was traveling westbound on I-10.

The driver, 59-year-old Kenneth Earl Collins, was operating the vehicle when the tire tread began to separate, forcing him to lose control of the vehicle and crash. He and his passenger, 59-year-old Anita Marie Collins, were ejected from the vehicle.

Both were wearing approved safety helmets at the time of the crash.  Kenneth Collins sustained minor injuries in the crash while his passenger, Anita Collins, sustained life-threatening injuries in the wreck. 

It was confirmed on Monday, May 27th, that Anita Collins had succumbed to her injuries and passed away.
