A westbound 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier driven by Paul Crawford, 25, lost control in a curve and slammed into an eastbound 2006 Ford Escape driven by Kyle Bryant, 26, of Belcher. The impact forced both vehicles off the roadway.

Crawford, who was unrestrained, was partially ejected and airlifted to LSUHSC, where he was pronounced dead. Bryant and his two passengers were transported to LSUHSC by Caddo Fire District 1, for treatment of injuries.

Both accidents remain under investigation by the Caddo Sheriff’s Traffic Safety Unit.
