TROOP L NEWS RELEASE August 17, 2017 Two-Year-Old Pedestrian Killed in Fatal Crash Roseland- At approximately 8:41 PM on August 16, 2017, Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop L responded to a fatal pedestrian crash on LA 10 one mile west of LA 1058 in Tangipahoa Parish. The crash has claimed the life of two-year-old Kaleb Dyson of Kentwood. Based on the preliminary on scene investigation, Troopers determined that the crash occurred as a large group of choir members were standing in the parking lot of the Mt Canaan Missionary Baptist Church located on the north side of LA 10. Kaleb Dyson ran south from the parking lot toward LA 10. Dyson’s mother, 37-year-old Waynata Dyson, ran behind her son in an attempt to stop him from entering the roadway. As Dyson entered the westbound lane of LA 10, he was struck by a 2008 Toyota Sienna driven by 57-year-old Shyrlee Ann Hammond from Spencer, NY. Dyson was taken by ambulance to Hood Memorial Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries shortly after arrival. Hammond was properly restrained and was uninjured in the crash. She provided Troopers with a voluntary breath sample, which showed no amount of alcohol present. Speed is not suspected to be a factor in this crash and no charges have been filed. The investigation is ongoing. Contact Information: S/T Dustin Dwight | |||
