TROOP A NEWS RELEASE July 5, 2014 Troopers Seek Public’s Help in Locating Hit and Run Vehicle which Struck a Child Brusly – Shortly after 1:30 pm on July 4th, 2014, Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop A began investigating a hit and run crash involving a juvenile on a bicycle that occurred on LA Hwy 988 (River Rd.) north of LA Hwy 989-1 in West Baton Rouge Parish. The crash injured a 7 year old child from Brusly. The initial investigation by State Police revealed that the crash occurred as the juvenile was riding a bicycle northbound on River Road in the southbound lane.
