Pleasant Hill Woman Killed in Sabine Parish Crash
Sabine Parish – On August 26, 2025, at approximately 9:40 p.m., Louisiana State Police Troop E responded to a fatal crash at the intersection of Progress Church Road and WPA Road. This crash claimed the life of 28-year-old Victoria Grantham of Pleasant Hill.
The initial investigation revealed that a 2025 Kia Seltos, driven by Grantham, was traveling south on WPA Road. For reasons still under investigation, Grantham failed to stop at the intersection, which caused the vehicle to leave the roadway and sequentially impact a tree.
Grantham, who was not restrained, sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead on-scene. Routine toxicology samples were obtained and submitted for analysis.

Meta is sinking $10 billion into rural Louisiana to build the home of its wildest AI aspirations, setting the template for the nation’s grid buildout
The Louisiana Energy Users Group—including Exxon Mobil, Chevron, and Shell—said the project increases Entergy’s Louisiana energy demand by 30%, creating unprecedented financial risks to existing utility ratepayers.
A recent report from the U.S. Department of Energy estimates data centers’ grid needs could triple by 2028, consuming up to 12% of the nation’s electricity.
With the state bypassing the standard, lengthier review process, Lewis questions whether Entergy and Meta need extra turbines. “Why are we only focusing, quite frankly, on generation buildup?” he wondered, rather than grid efficiency and flexibility. He warned of Meta potentially walking away early, leaving ratepayers stuck with excess costs.
Louisiana, for instance, exempted the Meta deal from sales taxes.
