Ricker v. Thompson

KLIEBERT, Judge.

Louisiana Highway 48 (Jefferson Highway) is a four-lane highway which runs through the City of Harahan and which is intersected by South Cumberland Street. On November 22,1977, Albert A. Ricker, Jr. was operating his motorcycle in a westerly direction on Louisiana Highway 48 (towards Kenner). As Ricker approached the intersection of Jefferson Highway and South Cumberland Street, a 1962 Chevrolet van, which had been traveling in an easterly direction (towards New Orleans), turned left into the path of Ricker’s motorcycle, resulting in a collision which injured Ricker.
