A single-vehicle crash on La. 35 at Homer Richard Road in St. Landry Parish claimed the life of 25-year-old Darry Carrington of Church Point at about 10 p.m. Feb. 11, according to a news release from Louisiana State Police Troop I.
It is unknown at this time who was driving, but the initial investigation revealed that Carrington and 24-year-old Lawarance Leday of St. Martinville were traveling northbound on La. 35 in a 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier, police said. For unknown reasons, the driver failed to negotiate a curve and traveled off the right side of the roadway into a ditch striking a culvert and overturning, police said.
Carrington and Leday were unrestrained and were ejected from the vehicle.
Carrington died as a result of his injuries, and was pronounced deceased by a St. Landry Parish Coroner’s Office representative. Leday was taken to a hospital with moderate injuries.
Standard toxicology tests are pending, and the crash remains under investigation.
Troopers are still working to determine who was driving the vehicle.
