St. Martinville – On March 11, 2025, around 5:00 a.m., Troopers with Louisiana State Police Troop
I began investigating a fatality crash involving a pedestrian on Louisiana Highway 31 near Lady of the Lake Road in St. Martin Parish. The crash claimed the life of 33-year-old Trey Comeaux of New Iberia.

The preliminary investigation revealed that Comeaux was walking south on LA Hwy 31 while pushing a bicycle
in heavy fog. At the same time, a 2012 Dodge Ram was also traveling south. For reasons still under investigation, the Ram struck Comeaux, causing him to enter the northbound lane. Shortly after the initial crash, a northbound Dodge Charger also struck Comeaux.

Comeaux sustained fatal injuries and died at the scene. The other two drivers were properly restrained
and uninjured. A routine toxicology sample was obtained from Comeaux and submitted for analysis. The driver of the Dodge Ram was not suspected of being impaired and voluntarily provided a breath sample which revealed no alcohol detected. This crash remains under investigation.
