LAFAYETTE, LA (KPLC) - A UL assistant softball coach was one of two people killed in a five-vehicle accident on I-10 in Lafayette Thursday.
Geri Glasco, 24, of Arnaudville, and Kenneth McNeil, 45, of Houston, were both killed in the crash.
Glasco is an assistant on the UL softball team and the daughter of head coach Gerry Glasco.
Trooper Thomas Gossen, with Louisiana State Police Troop I, said in a news release that the crash happened on I-10 eastbound shortly after 1 a.m. on Jan. 24, 2019.
He said the preliminary investigation found that William Rawlings, 67, of Killeen, Texas, was driving a 2010 Freightliner 18-wheeler eastbound on I-10 when he came upon slow moving traffic in an active construction zone and for unknown reasons was unable to slow down in a timely manner, striking the rear of McNeil?s 2015 Dodge Ram pickup truck.
?That initial crash began a chain reaction involving a total of five vehicles,? Gossen said.
McNeil?s vehicle was pushed into Glasco?s vehicle, a 2017 Ford Escape, which then struck the rear of a second 18-wheeler, which in turn struck another 18-wheeler.
McNeil and Glasco were pronounced dead at the scene.
Gossen said impairment is unknown and standard toxicology tests are pending. Rawlings submitted a breath sample which showed no alcohol present at the time of the crash. The investigation is ongoing, and charges are pending.
