A Tallulah man was killed in a one-car wreck early Sunday morning in Madison Parish, Louisiana officials said.

Leonard E. McKnight, 54, was pronounced dead at the scene by Madison Parish Coroner Thomas Neumann, Louisiana State Police Trooper Mark Dennis said this morning.

Dennis said McKnight was traveling west on U.S. 80 near Mound around 2 a.m. when his 2002 Ford truck ran off the right side of the road and into a ditch, where it traveled about 250 feet.

The truck returned to the road and continued about another 100 feet before hitting a tree off the eastbound ditch, Dennis said.

McKnight, who had been born in Delhi and raised in Tallulah, was an employee of White Ford Motor in Winnsboro.

He is survived by his daughter, Krimson Glory Marsh, and two grandchildren, all of Tallulah; and other family members.

Services for McKnight will be at 2 p.m. Tuesday at the Parkview Baptist Church with the Rev. Clifton Wheat officiating.

Burial will follow at Silver Cross Cemetery under the direction of Crothers-Glenwood Funeral Home.

Visitation will be from 5 to 8 tonight at the funeral home.
