How the Gulfway Drive Crash Unfolded
Police said the crash was reported around 10 p.m. Friday in the 4500 block of Gulfway Drive. An officer on patrol nearby arrived moments after the collision, according to police. Police said a preliminary investigation shows a Nissan car was making a westbound turn from Trinity Avenue's 1600 block when it was hit by a Ford pickup truck traveling east. Police identified the Nissan's driver as Korey Dekovan Landry, 46, of Port Arthur, who was pronounced dead.
Police said a woman who was a passenger in the Nissan suffered critical injuries and was flown from the scene for treatment. According to police, both the pickup's driver and its passenger suffered serious injuries. Relatives remembered Landry as a devoted family man who took an active part in his community.
Where the Port Arthur Police Investigation Stands
The crash is still under investigation. Police said they plan to share more details once they are available.
Roads are often closed for hours after a serious crash so investigators can measure and photograph the scene before anything is moved.
