Driving on the Northshore...
...has always scared the heck out of me. Too many two-lane roads, too many drunk teenagers driving SUVs, too many possibilities for things to go wrong, like falling trees and people driving into you head-on:
Two motorists were killed Monday night after their vehicles collided head-on on U.S. 190 near Northshore Square mall, authorities said.Roberto Deleon, 40, of Slidell, was driving west at about 11 p.m. when his 2001 Nissan pickup swerved across the center turning lane and into the eastbound lane, striking a 2001 Volkswagen Jetta driven by Lindsey Miramon, 18, also of Slidell. Both drivers had to be extricated from their vehicles by firefighters.
Deleon was pronounced dead at the scene. Miramon was pronounced dead at Slidell Memorial Hospital.
What's really scary is that this accident ocurred on the wide part of the road.
