DONALDSONVILLE, La. — A Louisiana man was killed after a car pulled out in front of his motorcycle on Louisiana Highway 1 in Donaldsonville Saturday night.
The motorcyclist from Pierre Part, 31-year-old Cameron James Thibodeaux ran of the road after the unknown vehicle blocked the roadway. Thibodeaux hit an embankment, a statement from Louisiana State Police said.
