BREAUX BRIDGE, La. (KLFY) — A fatal crash claimed the life of a teenager in Breaux Bridge.

Officials said the crash claimed the life of 16-year-old Da’Marion Lagrange of Breaux Bridge.

According to authorities, today, shortly after midnight, troopers with Louisiana State Police began investigating a fatality crash involving an electric scooter on LA 347 just south of Jolie Blonde Road in St. Martin Parish.

Officials said Lagrange was riding an electric scooter with no lights north in the southbound lane of LA 347. At the same time, a 2015 Chrysler 300 was traveling in the northbound lane of LA 347 and was attempting to pass a slower vehicle in a passing zone.

For reasons still under investigation, as the Chrysler moved into the southbound lane to pass, it struck the scooter from the rear. Lagrange, who was not wearing a helmet, was transported to a nearby hospital with serious injuries, where he later died. The driver of the Chrysler was restrained and not injured.

The driver of the Chrysler was not suspected of being impaired and voluntarily provided a breath sample, which showed no alcohol was detected. A standard toxicology sample was collected from Lagrange and submitted for analysis.

This crash remains under investigation.
