SABINE PARISH, La. (KSLA) - A Zwolle girl is dead following a Saturday afternoon crash.

Saylor Gatti, 11, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Sabine Parish Coroner’s Office.

Dispatchers got the call at 6:30 p.m. to the crash site on JaBush Road, according to a Facebook post.

“The initial investigation revealed a 2021 Yamaha Viking Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV), driven by Gatti, was westbound on JaBush Road. For reasons still under investigation, Gatti lost control of the vehicle which caused it to overturn. This action ejected Gatti and her three juvenile passengers from the vehicle. Gatti, who was not restrained or wearing a helmet, sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene by the Sabine Parish Coroner’s Office. One juvenile passenger, who was not restrained or wearing a helmet, sustained minor injuries and was transported to a local hospital. Two additional juvenile passengers, who also were not restrained or wearing a helmet, sustained no injuries. Routine toxicology samples were obtained and submitted for analysis.”
