Four Year Old Killed While Walking on LA 14 in Iberia Parish

Iberia Parish On October 14, 2017, shortly before 10:30 pm, Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop I began investigating a fatal crash involving a pedestrian on LA 14 eastbound at Leleux Road in Iberia Parish. The crash claimed the life of 4 year old Raylen Jones of New Iberia.

The initial investigation by State Police revealed that Jones and his juvenile sibling were able to exit their residence without detection. At some point, Jones walked out onto LA 14 and was struck by a 2003 Nissan Altima operated by 52 year old Alan Bacas of Delcambre.

Jones sustained critical injuries and was air-lifted to Lafayette General Medical Center where he succumbed to his injuries. Bacas was wearing a seat belt and was not injured.

Impairment is not a factor in the crash. Troopers, along with the Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office Juvenile Division are continuing the investigation.
