BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — A New Orleans man was killed in an overnight crash in Prairieville.

Troopers responded to a two-vehicle crash on I-10 westbound near the LA 928 overpass in Ascension Parish around 1:30 a.m. Thursday. The crash victim was identified as Dwayne Jackson, 41.

A preliminary investigation showed that a truck driven by Jackson was traveling westbound on I-10 when a freightliner tractor-trailer tried to enter the roadway from the right shoulder before the truck hit the back of the freightliner.
