SCOTT, La. — A Texas woman is dead following a fatal three-vehicle crash on Monday.
On August 10, 2026, just before 12:00 p.m., Troopers with Louisiana State Police Troop I began investigating a three-vehicle fatality crash on Louisiana Highway 93 near Rue Scholastique Road. The crash claimed the life of 51-year-old Michelle Yzquierdo of Baytown, Texas, according to a spokesperson for Troop I.
The preliminary investigation revealed a 2021 Chrysler Pacifica, driven by Yzquierdo, was turning left from Rue Scholastique onto LA 93. At the same time, a 2025 Kenworth hauling a flatbed trailer was traveling south on LA 93. For reasons still under investigation, the Chrysler entered the path of the Kenworth and was struck on its passenger side, the spokesperson states. The impact caused the Chrysler to rotate in the roadway, and it was subsequently struck on its passenger side by a 1993 Peterbilt hauling a trailer loaded with sand that was traveling north on LA 93…
