Original release: Ashland – Shortly before 6:30 this morning, Troop C investigated a fatality crash involving an unidentified pedestrian on LA 57 at Express Boulevard. The preliminary investigation revealed 38 year old Brooke Hyde of Houma was traveling north on LA 57 in a 2016 GMC Sierra. The pedestrian was walking northbound in the northbound lane of LA 57 near the center line and was struck by Hyde’s vehicle. The pedestrian suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased on scene by the Terrebonne Parish Coroner’s Office. Hyde was not injured in the crash and was wearing her seat belt. Impairment is unknown on the part of the pedestrian and standard toxicology tests are pending. Hyde submitted to a breath test which showed no alcohol present. The investigation is ongoing. Troopers urge pedestrians to maintain a heightened level of awareness while walking near the road. Simple precautions such as wearing reflective materials, avoiding distractions, and not walking too close to roadways could prevent most pedestrian related crashes. The dangers of driving impaired and distracted can also contribute to tragedies such as these and we ask all drivers to be vigilant behind the wheel.
