On Tuesday, January 28, shortly before 11:30 PM, Troopers from Troop L responded to a serious injury crash involving a pedestrian on LA 21 northbound near LA 59. The crash has claimed the life of 71-year-old William M. Asprodites of New Orleans. The initial investigation led Troopers to determine that the crash occurred as Asprodites was walking in the northbound lane of LA 21 wearing dark clothing when he was struck by a Ford F150 pickup truck traveling northbound on LA 21. The victim sustained serious injuries and later succumbed to those injuries at an area hospital. Toxicology is pending, performed by the St. Tammany Parish Coroner’s Office. The driver of the F150 was properly restrained and uninjured in the crash. Also, the driver of the F150 provided Troopers with a breath sample which detected no evidence of alcohol. This investigation is ongoing.
