A 27-year-old Gueydan man was killed Wednesday afternoon following a two-vehicle crash on LA 26 in Jeff Davis Parish.
State Police Troop D says the crash which occurred around 2:30 pm on LA 26 just south of US Hwy 190 claimed the life of John Russell Venissat V of Gueydan.
Troopers say Venissat was traveling south on LA 26 in a 2000 Toyota Corolla when, for unknown reasons, he crossed the center line and struck another vehicle head-on.
Venissat, despite being restrained, suffered fatal injuries as a result of the crash. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver and passenger of the other vehicle were properly restrained and transported to a Lafayette hospital with moderate injuries.
Impairment is unknown at this time, but State Police say that samples have been obtained for analysis.
The crash remains under investigation.
