Unrestrained Church Point man killed in single-vehicle crash

A single-vehicle crash on La. 10 near Greta Lane in Evangeline Parish took the life of Jeffery Kyle, 52, of Church Point on Wednesday, according to Louisiana State Police Troop I.
The initial investigation revealed the crash occurred as Kyle was driving a 2008 GMC Sierra westbound on La. 10 at around 2 p.m. 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, police said. Kyle was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected from the vehicle, police said.
Kyle sustained critical injuries and was taken to Rapides General where he later succumbed to his injuries.
It is unknown if impairment is a factor in this crash, but standard toxicology samples were taken from Kyle and sent to the Louisiana State Police Crime Lab for analysis.
