Around midnight on April 27, St. Gabriel police officers were called to Louisiana Highway 30 near Highway 3115 for a crash involving a car and a pedestrian. When officers arrived, they found a woman with serious injuries near the intersection. Police said she died at the scene.
The driver, 51-year-old Sean Alteri of Gonzales, stayed at the scene. Officers noticed he showed signs of impairment and called the Louisiana State Police to help with a field sobriety test.
During the test, Alteri reportedly showed clear signs of impairment. He was taken to the police department, where he gave a breath sample that tested over the legal limit, according to the SGPD.
Alteri was charged with driving under the influence and vehicular homicide and was booked into the Iberville Parish Jail.
The identity of the victim will be released after her family is notified, police said.
