Late last night, a single vehicle crash killed a man from Ferriday, LA.

Troopers responded to the crash around 10:30 p.m., which occurred on LA Hwy 124, south of Jonesville, in Catahoula Parish. The crash involved a 1995 Mack (propane truck), driven by Randolph L. Coleman (W/M 63 yrs). The Mack was eastbound on LA Hwy 124 when Coleman lost control and partially exited the left side of the roadway before returning to the eastbound lane. After returning to the eastbound lane, Coleman overcorrected his vehicle and exited the left side of the roadway before overturning.

Coleman was not wearing his seatbelt and was ejected. He was pronounced dead.

The Mack was loaded with 600 gallons of propane. None of the product was released.

Routine toxicology tests are pending. The crash remains under investigation.

Louisiana State Police would like to take this opportunity to remind/inform motorists that properly wearing your seatbelt will dramatically reduce your chance of being injured or killed in a crash. We ask you to take one second to “buckle up!”

Troop E Troopers have investigated 47 fatal crashes in 2012, resulting in 52 fatalities.
