A 60-year-old Bossier Parish man died in a one-vehicle wreck shortly before 11 p.m. Monday when his vehicle left a Minden roadway and crashed into a local business warehouse.

Chief of Police Jared McIver identified the victim as Robert Scott Gunderson of Elm Grove. He reportedly was alone in the vehicle at the time of the accident. McIver said Gunderson was pronounced dead soon after the collision. 

“The victim apparently was traveling west on East Union at a high rate of speed when he failed to negotiate a sharp curve, left the road and struck the Cone’s warehouse building,” McIver said. “We’ve not ruled out impairment as a contributing factor. We’re still investigating and awaiting results of an autopsy.”  

McIver said officers found suspected illegal narcotics including methamphetamine, crack cocaine and marijuana inside the vehicle.
