Troopers with Louisiana State Police say two Plaquemine men are dead following a head-on crash on Tuesday, March 23.

Trooper First Class Taylor Scrantz says the crash happened shortly before 7:30 a.m. on LA 77, south of LA 386 in Iberville Parish.

Investigators say Patrick Dwyer, 40, of Plaquemine, was traveling southbound on LA 77 in a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado at the same time Marvin

Both men were pronounced dead at the scene.
