St. Martin Officials Not Liable Rules Louisiana Supreme Court

The Advocate reports on a decision of the Louisiana Supreme Court that holds the St. Martin Parish Sheriff's Office not liable in an accident that left the parents of ten children dead. The couple died when they ran into a truck loaded with creosote poles that was backing onto La. 94 at night. The suit alleged that the Sheriff's Office was negligent for failing to respond to the driver's calls for assistance.
