BALDWIN COUNTY, Ala. (WKRG) — A Louisiana woman was killed in a Baldwin County crash on Wednesday, May 20.

According to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, 65-year-old Carolyn J Hunt-Loga, of Slidell, La., was killed when the Mazda she was driving was hit by a Dodge pickup.

After the initial impact, Hunt-Loga’s vehicle hit a tractor-trailer, according to the release.

Hunt-Loga was pronounced dead on the scene, while the pickup driver was life-flighted to University Hospital for his injuries.

Another woman was in the vehicle with Hunt-Loga and was also airlifted to University Hospital.

Officials said the crash happened around 9:15 p.m. on Interstate 10 near U.S. 90 just west of the Daphne city limits.

“We’re not posting every day because we want to cautiously feel our way through,” Robertson said. “Just to be safe.”

Other plaintiffs in the case are not currently sharing air monitoring data, due to the CAMRA law as well as other hurdles. They include two groups in St. John the Baptist Parish, according to Tish Taylor, who leads Concerned Citizens of St. John, and Joy Banner, a founder of The Descendants Project.

In addition to uncertainty around the state law, Taylor said her organization is waiting for air monitoring results being analyzed by Colorado State University. Separately, funding from the EPA to maintain monitors in the parish expires at the end of the month. An EPA contract for St. John monitors also included its own restrictions around dissemination, according to the partner organization Deep South Center for Environmental Justice. 

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) – For the first time since surviving the deadly shooting at the Mall of Louisiana, Donnie Guillory made an emotional return to the mall on Wednesday, May 20.

Guillory was one of six people shot during the April shooting at the mall. Martha Odom, a high school senior from Lafayette, died from her injuries.

Guillory, a Special Olympics athlete, walked back through the mall with a special escort from Baton Rouge Police and the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office.

“Everybody is here today to see me,” Guillory said.

Guillory spent several days in the hospital before returning home. His family said one of the things he talked about most during recovery was getting back to the mall, where he spent time almost every day before the shooting.

Still, returning was emotional.

“I’m a little bit nervous. Nervous a little bit,” Guillory said.

Guillory’s father, Charles, said the support from law enforcement has meant a great deal to their family since the shooting.

He praised officers not only for helping save his son’s life, but for remaining involved throughout his recovery.

“You hear him say he’s a bit nervous,” Charles Guillory said. “He spends so much time in there with so many friends, I’m glad he’s able to go in there without being anxious about it.”

While the visit marked an important step forward for Donnie, his father said concerns about public safety remain.

“It’s something we need to address, because it’s not going to do any good to be happy today and have a problem two weeks from now,” he said.

Charles Guillory said he hopes businesses and community leaders continue looking for ways to improve safety measures moving forward.

“They need to look at what the mall is going to do and what other businesses are going to do to protect their patrons,” he said.
