Lake Charles Police Investigating Traffic Accident on Ryan St. & Sallier St.

Lake Charles Police responded to a crash at Ryan Street and Sallier Street on Wednesday, March 20, at 12:19 pm., where officers learned a 1997 Toyota traveling eastbound on W. Sallier towards Ryan Street failed to stop at the red light and drove through the intersection striking a 2014 Ford Mustang that was traveling north on Ryan Street approaching the intersection of W.
