One confirmed dead on US 61 in Ascension Parish

Just passed it. Someone got t-boned by a dumptruck on the driver side... it's pretty horrific

Airline South is closed from 73 to the post office

Think I know that dump truck owner

Jeez, I use that intersection multiple times a day, it is a dangerous one.

I certified that truck.

Driver lost control. Exactly what parts of the truck were certified by you?

My wife saw this happen on her way to work. She's the one who called 911. When she called me to tell me what happened, she could hardly talk from being so shaken up. Said it was terrible.

Prayers to everyone involved, especially the family who lost a loved one.

Dump Truck was headed towards BR when he lost control and tried to use the median. Ended up running head on into the oncoming traffic.

Picture says differently.

The picture indicates that this is correct which means somebody ran a red light.

I wouldn't admit this until it is determined that it wasn't a failure of what you certified. Is your name on any documents?

65MPH is too fricking fast for that stretch of road.

Isn't it 55 through that section? Doesn't matter. It should be 45.

I certify trucks for weight and volume for state projects.

The only two aspects concerning my certification is the legal payload and volume of the truck. If you look at the sticker on the bed of the truck, on the lower front side, you will see a red and silver sticker. That is my work.
