Homer – Earlier today, at approximately 4:00 p.m., Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop G responded to a two-vehicle crash on Louisiana Highway 2 near Bella Vista Road. The crash claimed the life of a 35-year-old woman from Sterlington.
The preliminary investigation revealed that a 2023 Toyota Highlander was traveling east on Louisiana Highway 2. At the same time, a 2018 Blue Bird Conventional school bus transporting students was traveling east on Louisiana Highway 2 ahead of the Toyota.
