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.

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.
