Today, shortly before 2 a.m., Louisiana State Police Troop I began investigating a two-vehicle fatality crash involving a pedestrian on U.S. Highway 167 near Flamingo Road in St. Landry Parish.
Officials said the crash claimed the life of Chrystal Thevis, 42, of Opelousas.
According to authorities the investigation revealed that a 2011 Toyota 4Runner was traveling south on US Highway 167 when it struck Thevis, who was walking in the roadway wearing dark-colored clothing. Thevis was then struck by a second southbound vehicle that left the scene and has not yet been identified.
Thevis sustained fatal injuries and died at the scene. The driver of the 4Runner was properly restrained and not injured.
Although impairment was not suspected on the part of the 4Runner’s driver, they voluntarily provided a breath sample which showed no alcohol detected. A standard toxicology sample was collected from Thevis and submitted for analysis.
This crash remains under investigation.
