RAGLEY, La. (KPLC) - State police are investigating a crash that claimed the life of two people Friday afternoon.
The crash claimed the lives of 69-year-old Anne Godeaux and 65-year-old Leah Landry, both of Lake Charles, according to Louisiana State Police Troop D Public Affairs Trooper Roy Jones.
The two-vehicle crash happened just after 2 p.m. Friday on U.S. 171 at the intersection of Felice Cutoff Road in Beauregard Parish.
Investigators say a Ford F-350 was traveling north on U.S. 171 while Godeaux, who was driving a Ford Bronco, was traveling west on Felice Cutoff Road.
For unknown reasons, the Bronco failed to yield at the intersection and was struck by the F-350 on the driver’s side, Jones said.
Godeaux was transported to a local hospital where she later died from her injuries. Landry, who was the front seat passenger in the Bronco, died at the scene from her injuries. Investigators say both Godeaux and Landry were wearing seatbelts.
The driver of the F-350 and occupants received minor injuries, Jones said.
The crash remains under investigation.
