A 30-year-old woman is in custody following an accident that claimed the life of a motorcyclist on the early morning of Feb. 2. Motorcycle accidents of this type are often fatal, and therefore are carefully reviewed by Louisiana law enforcement. So far, the woman faces multiple charges, including vehicular homicide, but no court date has been publicly announced at this time.
According to the accident report, around 1 a.m., the woman negotiated a turn onto Highway 16 when the accident occurred. Apparently, her SUV collided with a motorcycle driven by a 25-year-old man and carrying a 27-year-old female passenger. The force of the impact ejected both the driver and passenger from the motorcycle.
