IBERIA PARISH - A fatal crash involving a pedestrian on LA 14 claimed the life of a 4-year-old Saturday night.

According to Louisiana State Police, the crash occurred on LA 14 eastbound at Leleux Road in Iberia Parish sometime before 10:30 p.m.

Bacas was wearing a seat belt and was not injured, according to State Police.
