Troopers are investigating a fatal motorcycle crash that happened shortly before two o’clock Sunday afternoon in Lafourche Parish. Trooper Ross Brennan says 39-year-old Tricia Vicknair of Schriever was killed in the crash and investigators say it happened when she was driving south along LA 20 while in a curve.
Brennan says toxicology samples were taken from the victim and the driver of the pick-up truck, and results are pending. He says it’s still not known why Shrierver’s motorcycle crossed the center line.
Brennan says last year almost 1,000 people died on Louisiana highways and the upward trend, unfortunately, is holding this year also. He urges motorists to not drive distracted, or impaired, and to use seat restraints.
