According to Louisiana State Police, around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 7, troopers responded to the scene of a crash on US Highway 61 near Carrollwood Drive.
Troopers said an investigation revealed that 71-year-old Cecilia Adams attempted to walk across the north bound lanes of the highway, outside of a designated crosswalk while wearing dark clothing. That’s when a Nissan Rogue, heading south, reportedly made a U-turn on the highway, striking Adams.
She was taken to a hospital where she later died from her injuries.
Troopers said the driver was wearing a seatbelt at the time and was not injured. They add that there were no signs of impairment.
The crash remains under investigation.
“Practicing pedestrian safety guidelines while crossing and walking near roadways is crucial in reducing the risk of crashes. Drivers should always keep in mind that they share the road with bicyclists and pedestrians and remember to be vigilant for their presence,” said LSP Troop B.
