According to investigating troopers, at 11:44 p.m., 25-year-old Bryan Mitchell of Houma was driving a 1994 GMC SUV west on La. 182.
For unknown reasons Mitchell drove off the right side of the road, entered a ditch, his vehicle overturned and struck a utility pole.
Mitchell, who was restrained, and 40-year-old Tyronne Gray of Thibodeaux, who was unrestrained, were pronounced dead at the scene by the St. Mary Parish coroner.
A third occupant in the vehicle, 33-year-old Anna Collette of Franklin, sustained moderate injuries and was transported to the hospital. Troopers are still working to determine if she was restrained.
It is unknown if impairment was a factor in the crash; however, toxicology samples were obtained and will be submitted for analysis. This crash remains under investigation.
