A Lake Charles bicyclist was killed in a two-vehicle accident Friday morning, authorities said.
Lake Charles police spokesman Cpl. Larry Moss said officers were dispatched to the intersection of Kirkman and Alamo streets at about 11:43 a.m. Friday in reference to a two-vehicle crash and an injured pedestrian.
Moss said a 2013 Chevrolet Impala was traveling north on Kirkman when the driver, later identified as Jaylin Jack, failed to stop for a red traffic signal.
Moss said that as Jack entered the intersection, his vehicle struck a 2009 Hyundai Accent traveling westbound on Alamo.
Moss said as the result of the impact, Jack’s vehicle rotated after the collision and struck Shawn Allison as he was bicycling past.
Allison was airlifted to a medical facility in Lafayette, where he later succumbed to his injuries, Moss said.
Jack was arrested for DWI and Failure to Yield. He has been released on bond. Pending the result of the Toxicology report, these charges could be upgraded.
Moss said the investigation is still ongoing by Sgt. S. Kingsley and Officer R. Grantham.
