A 33-year-old Mississippi woman died Sunday evening at the Louisiana Heart Hospital after she was involved in a vehicle crash that occurred earlier that evening in Sun.
At approximately 5:30 p.m. Sunday, Sonia Taylor, 33, of Foxworth, Miss., was driving a 2003 Dodge Stratus southbound on Louisiana Highway 21 near the Sun town limits.
At the same time, Lenzy Williams, 58, of Bogalusa, was also headed southbound on La. 21 in a 1993 Chevrolet Corvette.
