Shortly after 7:00 a.m. on Monday, Louisiana State Police Troop I was notified of a two-vehicle crash on Louisiana Highway 82 near Lloyd Road (north of LA 333) in Vermilion Parish.
The crash claimed the life of 20-year-old Destiny Rose Hargrave of Abbeville.
The preliminary investigation revealed Hargrave was driving a 2018 Nissan Altima north on LA 82. At the same time, a 2016 GMC Yukon was traveling south of LA 82. For reasons still under investigation, Hargrave crossed the center line and struck the Yukon head-on in the southbound lane of travel.
