New Orleans man killed in early Thursday morning crash in Ascension Parish

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.

Jackson died after he was taken to a local hospital with severe injuries. Investigators said he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.

Louisiana State Police said standard toxicology samples will be taken for analysis.

The crash remains under investigation.
