Hueytown man, 71, killed riding Harley on I-10 in Louisiana crash
A 71-year-old Hueytown man riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle in Louisiana was killed in a crash on Friday night, Louisiana troopers said.
Just after 9:30 p.m. on Feb. 3, Louisiana state troopers responded to a three-vehicle crash on Interstate 10 near mile marker 108 between Breaux Bridge and Lafayette, according to a report by KATC in Acadiana.
Bobby Ray Carver, 71, of Hueytown was killed, the report said.
Troopers said a Nissan Frontier became disabled in the travel lane of I-10 west near mile marker 108 due to a previous crash. A westbound GMC Yukon struck the disabled Nissan and came to rest off the roadway. The Nissan, which remained in the roadway after being struck by the GMC, was then struck by a 2019 Harley-Davidson Road Glide being driven by Carver. After striking the Nissan, Carver and his motorcycle came to rest in the center lane of I-10 west.
Carver, who was wearing a DOT approved helmet, was pronounced dead at the scene by the St. Martin Parish Coroner’s Office.
The driver of the Yukon was properly restrained and was not injured. She submitted a breath sample indicating no alcohol in her system and displayed no signs of impairment.
A toxicology sample was obtained from Carver for analysis and this crash remains under investigation.
