Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre reported a 1-year-old child died after being accidentally struck by a vehicle at his residence. Cai Crosby of Larose was pronounced dead at Ochsner St. Anne Hospital on Wednesday night following the incident.

“This is a horrible tragedy for this family and the community,” said Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre. “My heart goes out to the family, and I pray they can find peace in such a difficult time.


Webre’s spokesman, Lt. Brennan Matherne, said that around 9:40 p.m. Wednesday deputies responded to a home on La. 1 in Larose after a neighbor called to report screaming and crying at the location.

Deputies learned that the boy’s mother, 35-year-old Tralyn Crosby, was backing her vehicle up when she struck the 1-year-old.

Medical personnel responded and transported the child to Ochsner St. Anne Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.


Webre said that neither impairment nor foul play are suspected as factors in the case.
