Troopers with the Louisiana State Police arrested Charles Moter, 58, on charges stemming from a vehicle crash that left three people dead Saturday afternoon. The crash happened on Louisiana Highway 343, south of U.S. Highway 90. Authorities said Moter was trying to pass a northbound vehicle when he came within a hazardous proximity to a vehicle driven by Nathaniel Malone, 31, of Duson. Malone steered left to avoid a crash, authorities said, but the front of Moter’s vehicle struck the right side of Malone’s vehicle.
