Motorist Killed in Vermilion Parish Head-On Collision

Abbeville – On September 12, 2025, shortly after 6:00 a.m., Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop I began investigating a two-vehicle fatality crash on Louisiana Highway 338 near Bonvillian Road in Vermilion Parish. The crash claimed the life of 56-year-old Charles Levine of Youngsville.   

The preliminary investigation revealed that a 2012 Ford F-150, driven by Levine, was traveling west on LA Hwy 338. At the same time, a 2019 GMC Sierra was traveling east on LA Hwy 338. For reasons still under investigation, the Ford crossed the centerline while in a right curve, entered the eastbound lane of travel, and struck the GMC head-on. After the collision, the Ford became fully engulfed in flames.   

Levine, whose restraint use is unknown, sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver of the GMC, who was properly restrained, sustained serious injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment.  

Routine toxicology samples were collected from both drivers for analysis. This crash remains under investigation
