DUSON, La. (AP) — Authorities say a 54-year-old Scott man died when his motorcycle struck a car in Acadia Parish
The accident happened just before 10:30 p.m. Thursday on La. Highway 343 north of Duson.
Master Trooper Brooks David Emile J. Sonnier (SOHN'-yat) was riding his motorcycle southbound on Highway 343 when a car made a left turn in front of him.
