Update:

While Troopers furthered their investigation through the night, they identified the driver of the Ford F150 as Gerald Minnick (22) of Abbeville.

Approximately six hours into the investigation, Troopers located an unoccupied silver 1999 BMW in a trailer park not far from the crash scene. Troopers questioned the owner of the vehicle, 24 year old Virgil Bryant III of New Iberia. Bryant admitted to Troopers he was involved in the crash.

Troopers arrested Bryant and transported him to the Iberia Parish Jail, where he was booked for Hit and Run Driving and No Insurance.

This case remains under investigation.

A crash took place where state police worked a single vehicle crash on LA 88 near New Corner Road early Saturday evening.

A ford F-150 was traveling eastbound on LA 88 and struck a silver BMW parked on the shoulder. After impact, the ford continued to travel east, driving off of the road and across a ditch. The ford truck struck a utility pole and the driver, not wearing a seatbelt was ejected. The unidentified driver of the ford pronounced dead on scene.

After the crash the silver BMW left the scene, but troopers believe it should have damage to the front of the vehicle. It is unknown if impairment was a factor in the crash.
