The Texas Department of Public Safety has identified three Louisiana motorcyclists who were injured Saturday in a multiple-vehicle wreck on Interstate 10 in Orange County.

Sgt. Stephanie Davis identified the injured as Eddie Williams, Shawn Bourgeois and Robert Young. Young was airlifted to a hospital in Lafayette, Louisiana. Young’s condition was unknown.

The others, whose injuries were described as not life threatening, were taken to a hospital in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

The three were injured around 1:45 p.m. Saturday near Mile Marker 876. Involved in the collision were the three westbound motorcycles and a passenger vehicle.

In an issued statement, Davis said two motorcycles struck a minivan, which was stopped, from behind. The third motorcycle could not “control its speed” and “became involved in the crash.”

No injuries were reported in the van.
