LAPLACE, La. (AP) - A pregnant Louisiana woman expecting twins and her 7-year-old son were killed in a two-vehicle crash Monday afternoon, authorities said.
Louisiana State Police told news outlets Tyandra Lewis of Baton Rouge, was driving a 2005 Toyota Camry traveling eastbound on I-10 when she stopped in the left lane.
A 2002 Ford F-350 truck driven by Willy Buchan of Tyler, Texas struck the Camry from behind, police said.
Lewis, 27, and her son were fatally injured in the crash. Lewis’ front-seat passenger Clarence Muse, 43, and his 3-year-old son were hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries. Buchan wasn’t injured, police said.
It’s unclear why Lewis stopped in the left lane. It also wasn’t clear if anyone involved in the crash was wearing a seat belt. The investigation is ongoing.
