Greenwood road accident

Shreveport police are investigating a pedestrian accident that occurred in the 3700 block of Greenwood Road about 11:50 a.m. today.

Latrinner Hamilton, 20, of Shreveport was running across Greenwood Road when she ran into a car headed eastbound on Greenwood. A 1994 Nissan Altima driven by Keydran Carter, 37, of Shreveport apparently tried to avoid Hamilton, but was unable to and struck the pedestrian.

Hamilton was taken to LSU Hospital where she is currently in stable condition with head trauma. She is expected to recover.

Hamilton said she did not see the car, and at this time it appears that the accident was unavoidable. No charges have been filed.
