Troopers reported that around 5:50 a.m. on Tuesday, April 8, they responded to the scene of a single-vehicle crash involving a pedestrian on Louisiana Highway 445 near Gliderport Road.
An investigation revealed a 1999 Ford F-350 was headed north on the highway just as 73-year-old Keith Guidry was headed south in a wheelchair in the same lane.
Troopers said for unknown reasons, the truck struck Guidry, resulting in fatal injuries. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The truck’s driver was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash and was not injured.
The crash remains under investigation, as toxicology samples from both individuals have been sent off for testing.
“Louisiana State Police urge both pedestrians and motorists to remain alert and aware of their surroundings while on or near roadways. Crashes involving pedestrians are often preventable when basic safety practices are followed,” said LSP Troop L.
