METAIRIE, Louisiana (WVUE) – New developments in the investigation into a truck crash that collided with two homes in Metairie in June and seriously injured a woman.

The case involves aggravated charges, disciplinary action against the deputy sheriff and possible safety improvements at the intersection of the I-10 Service Road near Carrollton Avenue and Hollygrove.

Over the years, this intersection has been the site of numerous accidents. Drivers fail to turn and hit signs, sometimes causing them to crash into houses. In June, officials said, Christopher Timpone was traveling at a high rate of speed, crashing through several fences and eventually coming to a stop after hitting a support pillar at a house.

The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office said Timpone will face aggravated charges. A sheriff’s office spokesman said a warrant was issued for Timpone’s arrest on July 1.

On July 12, Timpone was transported from Orleans to Jefferson Parish, where he now faces charges of reckless driving and negligent assault.

After the June crash, homeowners and neighbors questioned why officers did not conduct an on-site breathalyzer test. Initially, officers said the driver showed no signs of impairment.

JPSO said the deputy officer leading the investigation was suspended without pay following a “normal incident review” for failing to conduct a field sobriety test given the circumstances of the accident.

Now neighbors are hoping the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development and Jefferson Parish can agree on safety improvements. Councilman Hans Liljeberg is working with JP engineers and the DOTD to install a railing.

“I think we have reached the point where the municipality has to intervene,” said councillor Liljeberg.
