ASSUMPTION PARISH - The body of a man who crashed his car into Bayou Lafourche on March 2 was found Friday, nearly 6 miles south of the wreck. 

State Police said 64-year-old Gilbert Bunch Jr's body was found in the bayou near the 1800 block of LA Hwy 308. 

WBRZ reported that Bunch was driving east on LA-398 when he failed to stop at the intersection with LA-1. He then crossed LA-1, traveled off the roadway and partially submerged the car into the bayou. The passenger riding with him was able to exit the vehicle and swim to shore.

According to state police, when the car was removed from the water, Bunch was nowhere to be found.

No more information was immediately available.
