On Saturday, March 2, 2019 at 11:00 PM, Troopers responded to the scene on LA 1064 just east of North Oak Street in Tangipahoa Parish. The crash involved a bicyclist and an unknown vehicle. The injured cyclist has been identified as 39-year-old Ryan Stinson of Amite, LA. The initial investigation has led Troopers to determine that the crash occurred as Stinson was riding a Mongoose bicycle westbound on LA 1064 on the grass/gravel side of the roadway. There was no shoulder. An unknown vehicle was also westbound on LA 1064 and traveled off the roadway and struck Stinson. Stinson was ejected from the bicycle. Stinson was transported to North Oaks Medical Center by Acadian Ambulance where he is in critical, but stable condition. Based on evidence gathered at the scene, combined with a brief statement from Stinson, Troopers believed that the unknown vehicle is possibly a maroon Ford F-150. The crash is still under investigation. Anyone with information concerning this crash should contact Louisiana State Police Troop L at 985-893-6250.
