The Police Department reported a motor vehicle crash in Calcasieu Parish on Thursday morning.
The collision involved three vehicles.
Michael Lee Soileau Jr., 32, a resident of Vinton was operating a 2008 Pontiac G6 as it headed west on I-210.

A 2002 Chevrolet Silverado traveling west was unable to stop in time and collided with the Jeep’s left rear before hitting the Pontiac’s passenger side.
He was taken to a local hospital, where he passed away from his injuries.
Both the Jeep and the Chevrolet’s drivers, who were properly buckled up, suffered minor wounds.
All three drivers provided toxicology samples, which were then submitted for examination.
