I remember a similar crash with multiple deaths around that time on Joor Rd heading into Central near those softball fields. One of the kids that died was named Kevin McIntyre I believe. I can't remember the others. Very sad.

She wore a wrap on her leg/knee to cover the scarring from her injuries.

Hey how are you pulling up these articles? I have a subscription to the Advocate but to get these archives, is it a separate fee/subscription?

I tried to find an article about some kids that I knew that drowned in the Amite River in the early 90s a few months ago and couldn't find anything online. It was a pretty big story locally too.
I probably need to go search these archives.

Want my Library card #?

Only thing you have to have is a library card. Enter the code on the back of it and you're in.
Thanks! I do have a "liberry" card. I check out books on Overdrive often.
This is great resource to have. I used to pull up articles on the microfiche at Middleton back in my college days. So I knew the archives existed. This makes sense.
ETA: You just made my entire Summer, Giantkiller. It worked!

Yes and that is the wreck that made the state change it’s laws about riding in the back of a pickup. They changed the law to prohibit kids under a certain age to not being allowed to ride in the back

I can't believe you didn't know how to do that already.
How were you able to look up that pastor that molested the two boys I mentioned in my book?

I wasn't a high school nerd or anything, but the microfilm room at the Goodwood branch was like fricking Narnia to me.

Does any of that ring a bell with the ole school Baton Rouge peeps?
Yep. I lived in Drusilla Place neighborhood at the time. Coming back from church one Sunday afternoon and my parents parked in the parking lot of the BREC park because traffic was stopped. I was I think 12 or 13. I remember one girl wrapped around on of those little cement polls and Mike Graham taking scene photos for the police. Terrible, terrible memory.

I'm a Googling fool and find stuff all the time. But the Advocate Archives aren't just sitting out there.

Funny you said that. That headline is exactly what I sought out when I was a freshman at LSU learning how to use the MicroFiche archives for class. All i could think of to search the Advocate for was "Jody Plauche".
It gave me a call number for the microfiche thingy and I pulled it up and read about it. This was like 1994. This post was edited on 8/12/20 at 11:42 am

Yes. I knew them all. We went to high school together.

Yeah. Back then, print journalism was an art.Kinda sad they don't make them like they used to.
while reading the article, I was thinking to myself "wow what a lot of information. The current Advocate wishes it could be like that".

Yep. They passed me as I turned left from Jefferson on to Essen and they turned from Essen right on to Jefferson.. I remember thinking how dangerously the driver was driving and how many kids were in the back, and thinking that somebody was going to get killed. Heard about it later that day and was sick to my stomach....knew it was them. One of the girls was decapitated and impaled on the park fence from what I remember. A really huge, preventable tragedy.

I was friends with Mickey and knew Scott and Erica. I also worked with Wen at Broadmoor McDonald’s. ETA they were all across the street from my brothers house in Lake Forest Park subdivision at the pond a couple houses down from Brett’s the same day
