Date: February 13, 1964 Headline: Two Jena Women Die in Car-Truck Crash at Olla A collision between a late model sedan and a heavily-loaded pulpwood truck a mile from Olla last Thursday afternoon claimed the lives of two Jena women. Miss Jessie May Trotti, 51 year old LaSalle Parish Health Unit nurse, died instantly in the crash. Mrs. Velma Baldridge, 58 year old Jena housewife, died about an hour after the accident at Pollock while being transported by ambulance to an Alexandria hospital. The accident occurred about 2:45 p.m. at the intersection of LA 124 and 125 (old U. S. 165) southwest of Olla. Miss Trotti, approaching the triangle intersection from Urania with Mrs. Baldridge as a passenger, turned left off La 125 onto La. 124 which leads to Winnfield. Charles J. McDougald of Olla was driving a loaded pulpwood truck from Winnfield into the intersection of La. 124. Miss Trotti's car crossed the highway into the path of the truck, which veered across the highway in an apparent effort to avoid a crash. The truck skidded about 100 feet before hitting the car. The left front of the truck hit the left side of the car between the front wheel and the door on the driver's side. The impact drove the car backwards about 30 feet. Both vehicles left the highway but neither turned over. TROTTI SERVICES Funeral services for Miss Trotti were held at Temple Baptist Church of Jena with the Rev. K. G.
