An off-duty Rapides Parish Sheriff's deputy was killed after his truck collided with a car whose driver failed to stop at a stop sign in the Deville area.

Louisiana State Police say 32-year-old Tony D. Verheyden, of Deville, was killed about 8:50 p.m. Tuesday.

The Town Talk reports Verheyden, who's married with two children, served with the sheriff's office since January 2013 after previously serving as a reserve deputy from 2006-2010.
