Bogalusa – Yesterday at 4:20pm, Louisiana State Police Troop L investigated a two vehicle fatal crash at the intersection of LA 21 and Poole Bluff Road in Washington Parish.

A 1994 Chevrolet pickup truck, driven by Billy Brewer (W/M age 43) of Bogalusa, LA, was traveling southbound on LA 21. A 2000 Peterbuilt 18 wheeler, driven by John Coleman (W/M age 29) of Picayune, MS, was northbound on LA 21. As the Chevrolet pickup reached the intersection of LA 21 and Poole Bluff Road, the pickup turned left onto Poole Bluff Road directly into the path of the Peterbuilt 18 wheeler.
