Rayville Man Killed in Single-Vehicle Richland Parish Crash

Start – On Tuesday, May 14, 2024, shortly before 3:00 p.m., Troopers with Louisiana State Police Troop F began investigating a single-vehicle fatal crash on I-20 west of Start. The crash claimed the life of 64-year-old Kenneth Bradley of Rayville.

The initial investigation revealed that a 1992 Toyota Pickup, driven by Bradley, was traveling west on I-20 in the right lane. For reasons still under investigation, the Toyota traveled off the right side of the road and struck a tree.

Bradley, who was not properly restrained, suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene. Routine toxicology samples were collected and will be submitted for analysis. This crash remains under investigation.

Louisiana State Police would like to remind motorists to slow down, buckle up, and lessen their distractions. Crash forces do not care who you are or what you drive. The faster you drive, the greater the risk of serious injury or death; not wearing a seat belt dramatically increases that risk.

In 2024, Troop F has investigated 18 fatal crashes, resulting in 19 deaths.
