re: Anyone remember a traffic crash on Drusilla Ln in the late 80s that killed like 5 teens?

Yes I remember it, and one of the drivers involved was Brett Garafola and his brother was one of the cops that was killed back in 2016 - Brad Garafola

On or about May 22, 1988 at approximately 6:30 p.m., Sandra J. Brunson was a passenger in the bed of a 1985 Toyota pickup truck, which was owned by Louise Lin and operated by Hsi Wen Lin, travelling northbound at or near the 2400 block of Drusilla Lane in the Parish of East Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Suddenly and without warning the truck swerved off the road, struck a culvert and flipped over causing the damages referred to hereinafter.
4.
Petitioners, Adrian L. Brunson, III and Donna C. Brunson, are the natural parents of Sandra J. Brunson.
5.
At all times pertinent hereto, Sandra J. Brunson was riding as a guest passenger in the truck being operated by defendant, Hsi Wen Lin, with the consent and permission of his sister, Louise Lin, who was the registered owner of the vehicle.
6.
Based upon information and belief, defendant, Hsi Wen Lin, was engaged in a drag race or some other form of unwise, imprudent and negligent conduct with another motor vehicle being driven by, and believed to be owned by, John Brett Garafola.
