Both drivers underwent normal toxicological testing as part of the continuing inquiry; the results are still pending.

The town is grieving the death of a devoted public servant, as are Levine's family and former coworkers. In recognition of his dedication and efforts during his law enforcement career, tributes have begun to surface.

The circumstances behind this tragic collision are being looked into by the Louisiana State Police.
