JENNINGS, La. (KPLC) - A crash that claimed the life of an unidentified driver occurred around 11 a.m. this morning on I-10 South Frontage Road just west of La. 26.

The unidentified driver was the only occupant of the vehicle and sustained fatal injuries as a result of the fire. They were pronounced dead at the scene by the Jefferson Davis Parish Coroner’s Office.
Positive identification of the driver is pending.
The crash remains under investigation.
