Cops say a bicyclist is dead after a crash on LA. Highway 3107, Talbot Avenue, at the intersection with Oakley Street.
"The crash claimed the life of 26-year-old Seth Benoit of Thibodaux," Lieutenant Clint Dempster said in a news release.
It happened Saturday night shortly before 7:00pm.
"The preliminary investigation revealed Benoit was riding a motorized bicycle south on Oakley Street when he attempted to cross the intersection of LA Hwy 3107 while a 2015 Ford F-150 was traveling west on LA Hwy 3107."
Dempster says they are still investigating why Benoit pulled into traffic.
"Benoit was ejected from the bicycle into the opposing lane of travel. Benoit was then struck again from the opposite direction by a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe traveling eastbound on LA Hwy 3107."
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
"A toxicology sample was collected from Benoit and will be submitted for analysis."
Police say the drivers of the F-150 and Tahoe were not suspected of being impaired, but provided voluntary breath samples that showed no alcohol detected.
