Police are not releasing any information on whether the driver was cited for the collision nor are they providing the name of the driver or the victim.

“We are not releasing any of that information, not only to show empathy for the victim but we also don’t want to injure the investigation,” PAPD Det. Sadie Guedry said.

PAPD’s Advanced Accident Investigation Team and Criminal Investigations Division are working the case.
