A Fenton, Louisiana police officer struck by a vehicle a week ago has died.
Officer Shannon Brown, who was hit by a car while conducting a traffic stop, succumbed to his injuries on Saturday, according to KPLC-TV.
The 40-year-old stopped the vehicle for a traffic violation on U.S. 165 near Louisiana 102 around 6 p.m. on Aug. 7 with his emergency lights activated at the time of the crash.
A 2006 Nissan Altima driven by 77-year-old Florence T. Boudreaux struck the rear of Brown's 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe, causing it to hit the officer and the vehicle he had pulled over.
Brown sustained a serious leg injury and was pronounced dead 10:40 a.m. Aug. 13.
Boudreaux and the driver of the other vehicle were transported to local hospitals with minor injuries. Boudreaux was charged with failure to move over for an emergency vehicle.
The crash remains under investigation.
