At 2:56 PM, on Saturday, March 22, 2008, Louisiana State Police – Troop A investigated a crash that sent four individuals to area hospitals. The crash occurred on Interstate 10 (I-10) east of LA Hwy 42 in Ascension Parish.

The driver of the 1998 Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck, Gwendolyn Annaloro (a twenty year old female) of Youngsville, LA, sustained serious injuries and was transported by Acadian Ambulance to Our Lady of The Lake. The passengers in the Chevrolet S-10, Allyson M.
