Yesterday, shortly after 11 a.m., troopers with Louisiana State Police began investigating a two-vehicle fatality crash involving commercial motor vehicles on I-49 just south of its intersection with LA 29.
Officials said the crash claimed the life of 40-year-old Marcus Landry of Broussard.
Authorities said an investigation revealed that a 2019 Freightliner Cascadia was traveling north on I-49 at a reduced speed. At the same time, a 2015 Freightliner M2-160 driven by Landry was traveling north on I-49 behind the Cascadia. For reasons still under investigation, the vehicle Landry was driving failed to yield and struck the rear of the Cascadia.
Officials said Landry, who was properly restrained, sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Cascadia was properly restrained and uninjured.
The driver of the Cascadia was not suspected of being impaired and provided a voluntary breath sample, which showed no alcohol was detected. Routine toxicology samples were collected from Landry for analysis. The crash remains under investigation.
