Two-Vehicle Crash Claims Life of St. Francisville Woman St. Francisville – Louisiana State Police Troop A investigated a two-vehicle fatal crash that occurred on LA 10 east of US 61 this morning shortly after 7:00 am.

The driver of the Oldsmobile, Irma Minor (B/F, age 59) of St. Francisville, was pronounced deceased at the scene by the West Feliciana Coroner’s Office.
