Shortly after 1:00 PM on Thursday April 27, 2017, Troopers from
Louisiana State Police Troop L responded to a pedestrian fatality crash on LA 16
near LA 445 in Amite that claimed the life of Franklinton resident Raymond H.
Smith (53).
Troopers determined that Smith was working with a lawn
maintenance crew at a private residence on the shoulder of the roadway near the
fog line. Smith was struck by a 2010 Ford Escape westbound on LA 16. The vehicle
was driven by Hammond resident Marcela Irene Miller (26). Smith sustained fatal
injuries in the crash and was pronounced deceased on-scene by the Tangipahoa
Parish Coroner’s Office.
The investigation is ongoing and any criminal
charges will be forwarded to the Tangipahoa Parish District Attorney’s Office
pending the completion of the investigation.
