Lecamu reportedly struck a westbound 2009 Buick Enclave head-on being driven by Tina Rivet, 53, of Raceland.
Rivet received serious injuries and was transported to TRMC.
The collision’s debris also caused damage to a 1997 Nissan Maxima driven by Ireon Simmons, 27, of Ama.
Simmons received minor injuries and was transported to Ochsner St. Anne Hospital in Mathews.
Zeringue said all of the drivers were properly restrained.
Alcohol or drug use is not known at this time, pending blood tests taken at the accident scene.
