Holden – Shortly after 1:00 p.m. on July 22, 2024, Troopers with Louisiana State Police Troop A responded to a single-vehicle crash on LA 441 at Herman Hutchinson Road. The crash claimed the life of 64-year-old Tommy Moseley of Independence.

The preliminary investigation revealed that a 2005 Honda motorcycle, driven by Moseley, was traveling northbound on LA 441. For reasons still under investigation, the Honda failed to negotiate a curve and ran off the road to the right, struck a culvert, and entered a ditch.

Moseley, who was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, sustained serious injuries and was transported to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. While impairment is unknown, standard toxicology samples will be taken and submitted for analysis. This crash is still under investigation.

Troopers would like to stress the importance of utilizing proper safety equipment, such as DOT-approved helmets. Properly wearing an approved helmet decreases the chances of traumatic brain injury. Additionally, Troopers encourage all riders to take an approved motorcycle safety course.
