WALKER - One person was killed in a wreck along Walker South Road on Sunday afternoon.
Officials said a crash happened along Walker South Road—La. 447—at Parkway Drive shortly after 4 p.m. Sources at the scene said a car, a truck and a motorcycle got into a wreck and the driver of the motorcycle died at the scene.
State Police said the crash claimed the life of 58-year-old Michael McManus, who was driving the motorcycle.
State Police said McManus was traveling northbound on La. 447 behind a truck that stopped just before Parkway Drive, attempting to turn left.
