WALKER, LA (WAFB) - A crash involving a motorcycle and truck claimed the lives of a young Denham Springs couple Wednesday afternoon, leaving another person hospitalized and facing numerous charges.
State police say Jeremy Powell, 28, of Pine Grove was driving a small Nissan pickup east on Springfield Road around 4:00pm, when he crossed the center line and ran head-on into a brand new Harley Davidson.
The driver of the motorcycle, Brandon Wright, 22, and his wife, Joanna, 21, died in the crash.
Powell was taken to Our Lady of the Lake Hospital with moderate injuries.
Troopers believe Powell may have been under the influence of drugs when the crash happened.
He was arrested and charged with two counts of vehicular homicide, DWI, reckless operation, possession of Schedule II and Schedule III controlled dangerous substances, and no seat belt.
He will be booked into Livingston Parish Prison when he's released from the hospital.
