According to investigating Troopers, on October 1, 2012, shortly after midnight, 25-year-old Richard Kennedy Jr. of Austin, TX, was driving a 1996 Chevrolet truck pulling a travel trailer east on LA Highway 10. For reasons still under investigation, Kennedy traveled off the left side of the road and struck several trees. Kennedy, who was unrestrained, was pronounced dead by the East Feliciana Parish Coroner. It is unknown if Kennedy was impaired when the crash occurred; however, routine toxicology samples have been obtained and will submitted to the Louisiana State Police Crime Lab for analysis.
