A crash in Slidell left a motorcycle rider dead Sunday.
"Shortly before 2:15 p.m., Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop L began investigating a fatal crash involving a motorcycle on Interstate 12 near the Interstate 10 interchange in St. Tammany Parish," Trooper William Huggins said in a news release. "The crash claimed the life of 38-year-old Kyle Sweet of Pearl River."
He says Sweet was eastbound on I-12 on a 2022 Suzuki motorcycle.
"For reasons still under investigation, the Suzuki traveled off of the roadway to the left and impacted multiple trees."
