New Iberia Man Dies After Being Hit By Car
Louisiana State Police Spokesman, Trooper Thomas Gossen says that a 56-year-old man died after being hit by a car while he was walking along Louisiana Highway 14 East.
Gossen, the Public Information Officer for Troop I, says that Donald J. Derouen was pronounced dead at the scene at around 9 o clock Sunday night.
He adds that the driver of the car had agreed to a breathalyzer test at the site of the crash, and the woman was not impaired. According to Gossen, as part of the routine when someone dies as the result of a fatal crash, they have taken blood samples from Derouen to rule out impairment.
