Texas driver killed in Beauregard Parish crash Friday

BEAUREGARD PARISH, La. (KLFY)– A Texas driver was killed in a single-vehicle crash near the intersection of US Hwy 190 and Ball Park Road in Beauregard Parish Friday, according to Louisiana State Police.

Authorities said 31-year-old James Vaughn Patterson III of Huntington, Texas was driving a 2005 Ford F150 pickup truck west on US 190 when, for unknown reasons, the truck went across the centerline into the opposite lane. Shortly after traveling off the left side of the road, the vehicle hit a tree, and Patterson was pronounced dead at the location of the crash.

A toxicology sample was submitted, according to State Police.

This is an ongoing investigation.
