Early on the morning of September 30, 2025, Louisiana State Police Troop I began investigating a fatal accident involving a pedestrian on the Interstate 49 South Frontage Road near Froeba Road. Sadly, the incident resulted in the death of Nathan Guidry, a 33-year-old from Church Point. Initial findings suggested that Guidry was walking on the road wearing dark clothing when he was struck by a 2020 Volkswagen Atlas traveling south. He suffered fatal injuries and passed away at the scene. The driver of the Volkswagen was unharmed and cooperated in alcohol testing, which showed no presence of alcohol. The investigation into the crash is ongoing. Motorists and pedestrians are reminded to stay alert on the roads and adhere to safety measures such as wearing visible clothing, avoiding walking in dimly lit areas, and always facing oncoming traffic while walking. These precautions can significantly reduce the risk of accidents and keep both pedestrians and drivers safe.
