A 46-year-old Roanoke man died Thursday following an ATV crash on Jeff Davis Parish, according to Louisiana State Police.

The crash happened shortly after 9 pm on Grand Marais Road east of Farm Supply Road.

Troopers say an ATV being driven by Brian Keith Neal was traveling on Grand Marais Road at a high rate of speed when it struck a deer, ejecting him and throwing him onto the roadway. At some point after the initial impact, Neal was struck by a Toyato Tacoma pickup truck.

Neal sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Sgt. Derek Senegal.

Toxicology samples were obtained from Neal and the driver of the Toyota and will be submitted for analysis, he said.

The crash remains under investigation.

Troop D has investigated 27 fatal crashes resulting in 30 deaths in 2023.
