Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop L responded to a fatal head-on crash early Wednesday (June 7, 2017) morning involving a motorcycle on LA 1249 [Pumpkin Center Rd.] north of LA 22 in Tangipahoa Parish. The crash claimed the life of Jason Paul Spence (37) of Hammond.
Troopers determined that the vehicle driven by Lesley Christine Dutreix (51) of River Ridge crossed the center line of the highway and crashed head-on into Spence's motorcycle. Despite wearing an approved DOT helmet, Spence sustained fatal injuries in the crash. Dutreix was wearing a seat belt and suffered minor injuries.
Dutreix was cited for improper lane usage. At the completion of the fatal crash investigation, Troopers will consult the 21st Judicial District Attorney’s Office in reference to any additional criminal or traffic charges.
