Good morning, Lafayette.

On Saturday morning, a vehicle from Whittington Drive failed to stop at a sign on Johnston Street and hit two pedestrians—one riding an electric scooter in the bicycle lane and one working inside a business, with police saying one victim was taken to a local hospital and intoxication was not a factor.

A vehicle crashed into a Lafayette tattoo parlor Saturday after coming north on Whittington Drive and running a stop sign — it crossed all four lanes to hit a pedestrian riding an electric scooter and demolish the store's right side — and struck a worker who remains in the hospital, with police confirming intoxication was not a factor.

Authorities identified 43-year-old Lafayette man (Ronderick D.

Duhon) as the rider who died Friday night on Alcide Dominique Drive after losing control of his motorcycle, while a passenger (in stable condition) was taken to the hospital.

Lafayette's Latin Music Festival will expand to a two-day event on October 3 and 4 at Parc International, featuring music, food and cultural celebrations, officials announced.

Admission will be $10 with free entry for children under 12 and seniors 65 — organizers said the event aims to connect Latin youth with their roots — and will highlight Hispanic heritage in Acadiana.

Louisiana healthcare leaders warned in a letter to the U.S. Senate that proposed Medicaid cuts will force hospitals to reduce staff, close facilities and worsen care in rural areas where hospitals are already struggling.

They said the cuts—amounting to several billion dollars per year—could also risk jobs and local economic impact while the House version offers a less harmful alternative.
