Fatal Crash in Bienville Parish

This evening a Natchitoches man was westbound on LA 4, 4 miles east of US 71 when, according to him, he attempted to avoid a deer in the roadway. The driver, Kevin Stafford, stated he then attempted to avoid striking the deer causing his vehicle travel off the left side of the roadway. Once the vehicle left the roadway, it struck a tree near the front passenger door.

A 2 year old male passenger was seated on the front passenger seat. The child was in a booster seat with the shoulder and lap belt on.
