ST. LANDRY PARISH - A single vehicle crash on US 190 near Three Mile Lake Road in St. Landry Parish claimed the life of 17-year-old early Saturday morning.

According to Louisiana State Police, Troopers responded to the crash shortly after 2:30 a.m. The crash took the life of Aaron Quebedeaux, 17, of Krotz Springs.

Through the initial investigation, State Police determined the crash occurred as Quebedeaux was driving a 2002 Chevrolet eastbound on US 190. Quebedeaux was approaching a right curve and then, for unknown reasons, failed to negotiate the curve, according to State Police.
