BAYOU BLUE, La. (WGNO) — A Mississippi man has been booked in the Lafourche Parish Detention Center on Friday, Sept. 15 in connection to a crash that left one person dead.

According to reports, the crash happened around 10 p.m. on Louisiana Highway 316 near Banks Boulevard.

Deputies say John Vice of Byhalia, Mississippi, was traveling south on the highway when he failed to yield to oncoming traffic. Vice then made a left turn onto Banks Boulevard, into the pathway of a motorcycle driven by Dominic Douglas, 30, of Houma.
