Lafayette Parish Sheriff's deputies responded to an accident that left one man dead on Carmel Drive Tuesday night.

A spokesperson said they were called to the 2100 block of Carmel Drive around 10 p.m. Tuesday night. A 32-year-old worker was found unresponsive underneath a tractor.

LPSO says there were no signs of foul play at the scene, so it’s not being investigated as a suspicious death or a homicide by their office.

We reached out to OSHA to see if they're investigating anything and will update this story if we hear back.
