St. Helena Parish – Yesterday at 07:30 pm, Louisiana State Police Troop L investigated a two vehicle fatality crash on LA 16 west of LA 63 at milepost #42 in St. Helena Parish.

A 1997 Dodge pickup truck, driven by Michael J. Montgomery (W/M age 38) of Pine Grove, LA, was traveling westbound on LA 16. A 2008 Chrysler 300, driven by Glenda W. Munizza (W/F age 53) of Bogalusa, LA, was eastbound on LA 16. As the Dodge pickup continued west on LA 16, it crossed the centerline of the roadway attempting to pass a vehicle when it impacted the Chrysler in a head-on collision.
