ST. GABRIEL — A woman who was killed early Sunday morning in St. Gabriel was walking along the roadside when an alleged drunken driver hit her, the St. Gabriel Police Department said. 

Authorities responded to a crash around midnight on La. Hwy. 30 near La. Hwy. 3115. They found Katina Perck, 51, gravely injured near the intersection. She died at the scene, police said.

Capt. Jasmione Clark said Perck had been a passenger on a motorcycle that had a mechanical problem, requiring the motorcycle to pull over.

Perck, of St. Amant, was walking along the roadside when she was hit by a pickup truck, police said.

Sean Alteri, the 51-year-old driver of the pickup, waited at the scene of the crash for police. Investigators said Alteri appeared to be impaired and State Police came to perform a field sobriety test.

Alteri also took a breath alcohol test, which police say registered over the legal limit for driving.

Alteri was arrested booked into Iberville Parish jail on counts of vehicular homicide and driving while intoxicated, police said.

The driver of the motorcycle was not injured, Clark said.
