Deputy killed in crash with 18-wheeler

Four members of the Beauregard Parish SWAT team were involved in an accident in Caddo parish.

According to Beauregard Parish Sheriff's Officer Joe Toler, they were attending a training exercise and were on their way back to their hotel when he says an 18-wheeler pulled out in front of them causing their suburban to collide with the rig. The suburban was wedged under the big rig.

The Caddo Sheriff's Office confirms that one of the deputies, 34-year-old Robert Beane of Merryville was killed. Det. Beane, a 14 year member of the Department, served in Corrections, Patrol and Detective Division. He was also a member of the Dive team, Swat Team and Golf Team.

Toler says 3 members in that vehicle are now at LSU Medical Center in Shreveport.
The officers were expected back from their training on Friday.
