A woman from Kentucky was killed Saturday morning in a single-vehicle crash north of Rosepine. 
According to the Louisiana State Police, Tiffany D. Bowmer, 20, of Florence, Ky. was killed as a result of the crash, which occurred at approximatery 4 a.m. Saturday. 
State police say that Cody A. Bundy, 20, of Burlington, Ky. was travelling north on U.S. 171 just north of Rosepine when he lost control of his vehicle and ran off the right side of the roadway. He then drove into a ditch and collided with two trees.
Bowmer was the only passenger in Bundy's vehicle. 
Bundy received moderate injuries and was transported to Byrd Regional Hospital. Bowman was not wearing her seatbelt, police say, and was pronounced dead. 
Police were unsure whether Bundy was wearing his seatbelt.
