Church Point man dies in crash

A Church Point man died Tuesday afternoon in a single vehicle crash on LA 10.
According to a release by Louisiana State Police Troop I, shortly before 2 p.m. on November 15, 2016 troopers began investigating a fatal crash that occurred on LA 10 near Greta Lane between Ville Platte and Vidrine.
The crash claimed the life of 52-year-old Jeffery Kyle.
In the release from Troop I it states that “the initial investigation revealed that the crash occurred as Kyle was driving a 2008 GMC Sierra westbound on LA 10. For unknown reasons, Kyle failed to negotiate a curve, traveled off of the right side of the roadway through a ditch, and struck a culvert causing the vehicle to overturn. Kyle was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected from the vehicle. Kyle sustained critical injuries and was transported to Rapides General where he later succumbed to his injuries.”
At this time Troop I could not determine if impairment was a factor in the fatal crash, but standard toxicology samples were taken from Kyle and sent to the Louisiana State Police Crime Lab for analysis. The crash remains under investigation.
