Evangeline Parish- Early this morning, Louisiana State Police Troop I investigated a single vehicle crash on LA 1161 near Snooks Road that left a Beaumont, TX, man in critical condition. This afternoon the man succumbed to his injuries.

According to investigating troopers, on August 15, 2010, at about 2:30 a.m., 30-year-old Kendrick Stocker of Beaumont, TX, was driving south on LA 1161 in a 1995 Chevrolet truck. Stocker failed to negotiate a left curve, entered a ditch, and the vehicle began to overturn. Stocker, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the vehicle.
