Louisiana State Police say both drivers have died in a head-on crash, and neither was wearing a seat belt. A passenger in one car was seriously injured.

A news release Thursday said a 67-year-old woman lost control of her car on a curve Wednesday evening, crossed the center line, and ran head-on into a vehicle driven by a man.

Both Joy Rains of Robeline and Jackie Hardy of Many  died at the scene on Louisiana Highway 1217 near Many. Police say 52-year-old Jerri Oliver of Many was taken to LSU Medical Center, 60 miles (98 kilometers) away in Shreveport.
