Louisiana Pedestrian Killed in Nighttime Single-Vehicle Crash
Louisiana – Louisiana State Police stated on November 10, 2022, that on Wednesday, November 9, 2022, shortly after 9:30 p.m., Troopers assigned to LSP Troop G began investigating a single-vehicle fatality crash on Parish Camp Road, just east of Fairview Point Road. Dallas Broussard III, 30, of Elm Grove, Louisiana, was killed in the crash.
According to the preliminary investigation, a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado was going west on Parish Camp Road when it collided with Broussard, who was walking in the roadway. The driver then came to a halt to assist.
Broussard was taken to Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport and pronounced deceased. Both occupants were restrained and did not sustain any injuries.
Although impairment is not thought to be a factor in this crash, regular toxicological samples were collected and sent for examination. The crash is still being investigated.
When walking near a roadway, always make yourself visible to drivers by wearing bright/light-colored clothing and reflective materials. Pedestrians traveling at night might consider carrying a flashlight for increased safety. If there is no sidewalk available, walk on the shoulder or near the roadway edge facing traffic.
Troop G investigated 30 fatal crashes in 2022, resulting in 33 deaths.
