Louisiana State Police say two people are dead after a head-on collision on State Route 25 north of Covington. A third person was in need of medical attention, according to the St. Tammany Parish Fire District 12. The vehicles involved were a Cadillac and Lincoln, and one of the occupants was airlifted from the scene by Acadian Ambulance. No further information is available at this time.

Investigators say Brown crossed into the northbound lane and crashed head-on into a vehicle driven by Cyprian. Authorities say Cyprian's wife and front-seat passenger, Lois W.
