From staff reports
A Lacombe man was charged with negligent homicide after he struck and
killed a motorcyclist Saturday, the St. Tammany Parish
Sheriff's Office said.
James Patterson, 31, of 25532 W. Spruce St., was charged Saturday night
in the death of Dwayne Ransom, 26, of 62065 Wood St., Lacombe.
Ransom was riding his motorcycle southbound on North Pontchartrain Drive
in Lacombe about 1 p.m. when he collided with a car driven by
Patterson, who was turning left onto West Spruce, sheriff's
spokeswoman Tiffany Tate said.
Ransom, who was wearing a helmet, suffered massive facial and head
injuries, along with numerous extremity fractures, said
coroner's investigator Mark Lombard, who released Ransom's
identity.
Ransom was transported to the Louisiana Heart Hospital, where he was
pronounced dead.
In addition to being charged with negligent homicide, Patterson was
issued citations for no driver's license and an improper left
turn. He was booked at the parish jail.
