A Mississippi man was killed in a one-vehicle crash Friday night in Leeville, State Police said.
The collision took the life of 37-year-old Willie Brister Jr., of Foxworth, Miss., Senior Trooper Jesse LaGrange said.
Brister was traveling around 10:30 p.m. south on La. 1 in a 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe. For reasons still being investigated, Brister crossed the centerline and struck a Louisiana National Guard truck traveling north on La. 1.
