Livingston Parish Man Found Dead, Victim of Hit and Run
WATSON – Louisiana State Troopers are currently investigating a Hit and Run Fatal crash that occurred on LA 1026 east of LA 16 near Thistle Drive early this morning. Richard C. France (W/M, age 56) of Denham Springs was struck from behind in the eastbound lane by a vehicle believed to have been traveling east on LA 1026. Troopers spent much of the morning at the scene of the crash investigating the incident. The Louisiana State Police Crime Lab was called out to the scene as well. Troopers believe that France was struck sometime between midnight and daybreak as he was pushing his bicycle walking east along the south edge of LA 1026. Shortly after daybreak, a passer-by noticed the bicycle and France lying in the ditch and called 911. The Livingston Parish Coroner’s Office pronounced France deceased at the scene.
Troopers suspect that the vehicle involved in this crash will have minor to moderate damage to the right front fender and possible damage to the hood of the vehicle. Anyone with any information regarding this crash is encouraged to contact Louisiana State Police Troop A at (225)754-8500.
