Authorities have identified the man who was killed Wednesday in a single-car accident near Waynesville.

58-year old Randall Dupin of Waynesville was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash just before 9 a.m. Wednesday four miles west of U.S. 51. Results were not available from an autopsy done Thursday.

Dupin’s son, Michael Dupin, was in the car and survived the crash.

DeWitt Sheriff Jered Shofner indicates a preliminary investigation showed the car veered on and off the road as the driver tried to regain control before striking an embankment and hitting several trees. The reason why he lost control is still under investigation.
