A 16-year-old Morganza teen was killed Thursday afternoon after his older brother crashed head-on into another vehicle, State Police reported Friday.

The crash occurred around 3 p.m. Thursday along La. 1, just south of Hospital Road in New Roads, when the juvenile's 17-year-old brother, Harlee Doucet, was trying to pass another vehicle on the two-lane highway, Trooper 1st Class Bryan Lee said.

Doucet was traveling northbound on La. 1 in a Toyota Corolla with his brother, Nicholas Doucet, and two other juvenile passengers. He crashed into Amy Self, 46, who was traveling southbound in a Ford Expedition.
