A three-vehicle crash near Westlake resulted in the death of a Texas man on Saturday night.
Louisiana State Police Troop D responded to the accident shortly after 6 p.m. on I-10 about one mile west of La. Hwy. 378.
The initial investigation revealed a 1999 GMC pickup truck was traveling east on I-10 when the GMC traveled off of the roadway, across the center median, and into the westbound lanes of travel. The GMC was struck by an Allegro motor home and then by an 18-wheeler. The GMC and motor home were severely damaged as a result of the crash.
The driver of the GMC, 54-year-old Byron Keith Bob of Houston, Texas, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Calcasieu Parish Coroner’s Office. The other drivers were not injured. All drivers were wearing seat belts.
The roadway was wet from rain and excessive speed for the prevailing weather conditions is suspected to be a factor in the crash. A routine toxicology sample was obtained from the drivers and will be submitted for analysis. The crash remains under investigation.
This is the first fatal crash investigated by Troop D this year.
