State police say two men died when a pickup truck crashed head-on into a tractor trailer and then was hit by a dump truck in Lafourche Parish.
Trooper Evan Harrell identified the victims as 38-year-old Murphy Callais Jr., of Cut Off, and 62-year-old Lloyd Coleman, of Thibodaux.
Harrell says Callais was driving east on the La. Highway 24 around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday when he tried to pass a dump truck, and struck a westbound 18-wheeler driven by Coleman.
