Troopers said the two-vehicle crash happened at about 9:22 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 19, on Interstate 10 westbound near the 4 mile marker. A 2018 Toyota Tundra struck a 2007 Freightliner tractor-trailer.

Coty Charles Mitchell, 25, of Pass Christian, Mississippi, was pronounced dead following the collision. ALEA later clarified that Mitchell was a passenger in the Tundra, and that the pickup was being driven by 23-year-old Myles Logan French of Pass Christian. The Freightliner was driven by Raul Ernesto Guzman, 53.
