An early morning crash on Louisiana Highway 109 between Vinton and Starks killed two and critically injured one. It happened around 1:15am when a Buick Roadmaster ran off the road and hit a tree.
The driver, 34-year-old Donald Ray Richardson of Orange, TX, was pronounced dead on the scene by the Calcasieu Parish Coroner's Office...
A prisoner is dead after apparently hanging himself in his cell.
Deputies in Calcasieu Parish say the man had just been booked an hour before they found his body.
His name is being withheld until his family is notified.
The I-10 bridge across the Calcasieu River will be closed to all traffic from 9 p.m.- 5 a.m. tomorrow and Wednesday so crews can remove concrete barriers and open all lanes to traffic.
