Tragic Louisiana Motorcycle Leaves One Man Dead
November 30, 2011
A 58-year-old LaPlace, Louisiana, man is dead following a tragic accident involving a car and a motorcycle that happened Monday afternoon. According to WWLTV News, the incident occurred at 5:25 in the afternoon at an intersection with a parking lot for the Elmwood Shopping Center.
Spokesman of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Department, Colonel James Fortunato, stated that the man on the motorcycle struck a car driven by a 32-year-old woman as she was pulling out of the parking lot. The woman told sheriff’s deputies that she did not see the biker as she began pulling out. The woman in the car was uninjured in the incident, but the biker was not so fortunate.
Paramedics determined the motorcyclist needed to visit the hospital to be checked out, but his injuries did not seem life-threatening. At some point during his transport to Ochsner Medical Center, the motorcyclist began having some complications. He was pronounced dead at the hospital less than two hours later.
Investigators are still working to determine the cause of the crash and if charges need to be filed in connection to the bikers death.
