Seventy-one-year-old motorcyclist Darrel Duhon of Jennings was killed Wednesday night in Acadia Parish in a three-vehicle accident.

Louisiana State Police Spokesman Master Trooper Brooks David reported the fatal crash occurred on La. 97 near Gotts Cove Road at 7:40 p.m. Wednesday.

Investigators determined Duhon ran into a flat-bed trailer being pulled by Jose Gonzles, of Iota. Duhon was ejected off the motrcycle and slid into the opposing lane where he was hit by a pickup truck driven by Jose Roque-Valverde, of Bunkie.

Duhon was wearing a DOT approved helmet, but suffered critical injuries. He was transported to a local hospital where he later died.

Gonzalez and Roque-Valverde were both wearing seat belts and were not injured.  Gonzalez and Roque-Valverde both submitted to a chemical breath test and were found not to be impaired.  Toxicology samples were taken from Duhon and submitted to the Louisiana State Police Crime Lab for analysis.

This crash remains under investigation.
