Louisiana State Police Troop C is looking for the driver of a dark-colored pickup truck that ran down and killed a pedestrian in Terrebonne Parish on Monday.

"The preliminary investigation revealed the pedestrian was on or near LA Hwy. 57 when they were struck by an unknown vehicle," said Trooper Tiah Larvadain. "After striking the pedestrian, the unknown vehicle did not contact law enforcement and fled the scene."
