One person was killed and two people were injured after a head-on collision Tuesday in which alcohol is suspected to be a factor, Louisiana State Police said.
The crash, involving a 2007 Chevrolet HHR and a 2008 Dodge Dakota, happened about 2:45 p.m. on U.S. Hwy. 80 at Middle Road.
The driver of the Chevrolet HHR, 33-year-old Kevin Liker, of Dubberly, crossed a double yellow line and slammed into the Dodge driven by 48-year-old Douglas McCoy of Minden, troopers said.
The unrestrained passenger in the Dodge, 66-year-old Linda McCoy, of Minden, was airlifted to an area hospital where she later died from her injuries.
Both drivers were wearing their seatbelts, but still sustained moderate to serious injuries, according to a state police news release.
Alcohol and speed are suspected and the crash remains under investigation.

If I’m not mistaken it was the wreck on hwy 80 between 531 and 532. That I passed this afternoon
Would be nice to know where!
Where?
Yeah you never said where it happened…good reporting
Read the article……..Hwy 80 near Middle Rd., folks. And who cares where, just pray for the survivors.
The article clearly says HWY 80 near middle road.
Praying for the families involved! Very dangerous area.
U.S. Highway 80 between Middle and Fuller Cemetery roads,
Y’all can’t see it plainly states highway 80 at middle rd?
This could have been avoided! People are always in such a hurry now days! Smh what was so important that they had to try and pass the car in front of them. This is so tragic!
Does anyone know the names? I’m hearing it was a neighbor and friend
I go down hwy 80 often and I do not know where middle road is or where the 532 turn is or 531…whatever…when someone gives me directions, i need landmarks.
Does anybody no if the people n the truck if their names were Linda and Doug they live on middle rd. If so please let me no thats who I heard and thats my grandsons great aunt
I have Doug and Linda for several years now. Doug used to be an employee at my business. Mrs. Linda McCoy had had a bout with breast cancer. That would stand to reason why she did not have a seat belt on. I know people look at the facts of incidents without having a full understanding. I consider mr and mrs McCoy very good friends of mine.
Thank u vicky
