The driver in a Louisiana wrong-way crash that killed three siblings was determined to have been 3X over the legal alcohol limit, police said.
Louisiana State Police said John Lundy, 54, on Dec. 17 was driving northbound in the southbound lanes of traffic on a highway near St. Landry Parish when the vehicle collided with an SUV. Lundy was pronounced dead at the scene — and toxicology tests determined that intoxication was "a major factor" in the crash.
The crash also killed three siblings, identified as 20-year-old Lindy Rae Simmons, 14-year-old Kamryn Simmons, and 16-year-old Christopher Simmons. Lindy was pronounced dead at the scene, while Kamryn and Christopher were taken to area hospitals and ultimately died from their injuries. DeRouen said she was at a Christmas party when she got the call that her mom and three youngest siblings had been involved in a wreck. She rushed to three hospitals in an effort to locate her family. Instead of providing comfort, however, she was tasked with identifying bodies.
