Toxicology tests are pending. Dupree was not wearing his seat belt, according to State Police.
On Monday, Sept. 22, State Police investigated another single-vehicle crash on La. 3235 in Lafourche Parish that claimed the life of a Monroe man.
A 2005 Ford F-350 driven by Robert Patterson, 59, was traveling north on La. 3235 in the right lane. The truck was also towing an empty gooseneck trailer.
According to State Police, Patterson failed to stop at the T-intersection of La. 24 and continued across the intersection.
The Ford truck impacted a ditch embankment head-on and came to rest.
