Read original link. It was updated with the names. Very sad.

I was going down Perkins Rd. about a block from the bridge when the police blocked the road and everyone had to backtrack away from it. Don't think I've seen so many emergency flashing lights on vehicles at one time. So sad for these families.

TROOP A NEWS RELEASE June 19, 2022 Teenagers Killed in Single Vehicle Crash Prairieville – On June 19, 2022, shortly after 12:00 pm, Troopers with Louisiana State Police Troop A began investigating a single vehicle crash on LA 427 near Bayou Manchac in Ascension Parish. The crash ultimately claimed the lives of 16-year-old Caroline Smith and 16-year-old Chloe Hamilton of Prairieville. The initial investigation revealed that Smith was driving a 2008 Chevrolet Impala on LA 427. For reasons still being investigated, Smith failed to negotiate a right curve, exited the roadway to the right, entered through a gravel shoulder, and struck a tree. After impact with the tree, the vehicle vaulted into a private pond and became fully submerged. Smith and Hamilton were both pronounced deceased on the scene. It is unclear whether seatbelt use is a factor in the crash. This crash remains under investigation. The difficult assignment of death notification continues to be one of the hardest elements of the Law Enforcement profession. Notification is made even more difficult when the outcome is preventable. Please take a moment to put your safety and the safety of your loved ones ahead of everything else. Aside from sound decision-making behind the wheel, speak to your family and friends about the consequences of impaired driving. Remind them that putting on a seatbelt greatly reduces their risk of being killed or seriously injured in a crash. Speak to them about the dangers of distracted driving. The conversations you have today could make a world of difference tomorrow.

I can’t figure out exactly where this is..

If it’s the pond on the right once you cross the bridge going away from Santa Maria it’s not a very deep pond. It used to be where a good friend lived and we spent a lot of time as kids building bike ramps into the water

Looks like it's the one on the left driving into Ascension just over the line.

Heart wrenching

Ah, I was thinking it was the one on the left in that shot.
Posted on 6/19/22 at 9:26 pm to potent357
There's no "right turn" or "curve" there to negotiate. It's simply a straight away unless they are talking about the dirt road.
ETA: This spot would make more sense.

Actually there's a slight right-hand curve right before you cross the bridge.

But the not negotiating a right curve and continuing right off the road does not really match.

It's This pond. There is a right curve at the bayou. This trajectory is just a guess but plausible explanation how they were vaulted into the pond(Over correction). It's very possible they were going 55-65 mph when she lost control. People drive that stretch pretty fast.
