Convent, LA (June 16, 2019) – Sources report that a collision involving two vehicles took the life of a man on Saturday, June 15th. The wreck happened near the intersection of LA-44 and LA-77 at around 5 p.m.
Louisiana state police confirm that 41-year-old Victor Ingraham died in the collision. The victim was traveling south on LA-44 in a 2007 Honda Accord when he attempted to overtake another vehicle in a no-passing zone. This caused Ingraham to lose control of his vehicle after running off the highway. He rotated into the oncoming lane where he hit John Chauvin, 44-year-old, on the passenger side of his vehicle, a 2012 Ford F-150.
Ingraham was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the incident died on impact.
Chauvin was properly restrained and only sustained minor injuries in the crash.
Impairment is not believed to be a factor in the collision.
The investigation is still ongoing into the crash.
We want to offer our sincerest condolences to the family of Victor Ingraham. Our thoughts are with you at this time.
