WHITE CASTLE, La. (AP) — A Texas man has been killed in a three-vehicle crash in southern Louisiana.
Louisiana State Police Sgt. Jared Sandifer told WAFB-TV that 32-year-old Gerardo Hernandez of Brownsville, Texas, was killed in a crash around 6 p.m. Tuesday. Hernandez was driving a pickup truck when his vehicle rear-ended another truck driven by 63-year-old Ester Green.
