Two Louisiana Teens Killed in Late Night Pedestrian-Vehicle Crash on I-10 Frontage Road
Louisiana – Louisiana State Police reported on June 19, 2022, that on June 18, 2022, just before 11:15 p.m., Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop D responded to a crash involving two pedestrians on the I-10 South Frontage Road near N. Thibodeaux Road, just west of LA Hwy 26 in Jefferson Davis Parish. Kyle H. Vidrine, 18, of Lake Arthur, Louisiana, and Brannon J. Adams, 17, of Jennings, Louisiana, were killed in the crash.
According to preliminary findings, a vehicle became disabled while traveling east on I-10 west of Jennings. Vidrine and Adams, the occupants, exited the vehicle and were standing in the South Frontage Road roadway while being assisted by a family member. Soon after, a driver in a 2013 Jeep Wrangler traveling west struck Vidrine and Adams. Due to the glare of the other vehicle’s headlights, the driver was unable to see the pedestrians standing in the roadway.
Vidrine and Adams were pronounced dead at the scene as a result of their injuries sustained in the crash. The driver of the Jeep was properly restrained and received no injuries. The Jeep’s driver is not suspected of being intoxicated.
Toxicology samples were collected from the Jeep’s driver, Vidrine, and Adams and submitted for testing. This crash is still being investigated.
So far in 2022, Troop D investigated 11 fatal crashes that resulted in 13 deaths.
