Motorcyclist Seriously Injured In DeSoto Parish Crash

Earlier today, a single vehicle crash seriously injured a man from Mansfield, LA.

Troopers responded to the crash around 2:55 pm, which occurred on Railroad Avenue in DeSoto Parish. The crash involved a 2009 Suzuki motorcycle, driven by Johnny W. Wilbert (B/M 42 yrs). Wilbert lost control of his motorcycle and exited the roadway before being ejected. After being ejected from the motorcycle, he collided with a railroad crossing sign.

Wilbert received serious injuries and was transported to LSU Medical center.

Routine toxicology tests are pending. The crash remains under investigation.

Louisiana State Police would like to take this opportunity to remind/inform motorists that properly wearing your seatbelt will dramatically reduce your chance of being injured or killed in a crash. We ask you to take one second to “buckle up!”
