A car wreck claimed the lives of two young people early Sunday morning in Madison Parish.

The Louisiana State Police said 20-year-old Kayden Acuff, of Tallulah, and 21-year-old Jamicha Lovings-Smith of Vicksburg were both killed in the single-vehicle crash on U.S. 80 east of Louisiana Highway 601-2.

The LSP said the preliminary investigation revealed that Acuff was driving west on U.S. 80 in a 2015 Nissan Altima. For reasons still under investigation, the Nissan ran off the right side of the road.

Acuff attempted to regain control of the Nissan by steering to the left, but overcorrected. As a result, the vehicle crossed the west and eastbound lanes of U.S. 80 and struck a tree on the eastbound shoulder.

Acuff, who was unrestrained, suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene. Lovings-Smith, who was the front seat passenger and unrestrained, also suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene.

The LSP said impairment is a suspected factor in this crash. Routine toxicology samples were collected and will be submitted for analysis. This crash remains under investigation.
