ALBANY — The son of a Bogalusa man killed in an 18-wheeler crash earlier this week in Albany has also died, the Livingston Parish Coroner's Office said Thursday. 

Raymond Hanner Jr., 45, died in the hospital on Wednesday, two days after his father, 66-year-old Raymond Hanner Sr., died when the truck he was driving collided with an 18-wheeler along Highway 190 east of La. 441.

According to Louisiana State Police, Hanner Sr. was driving with his son and two other people, including a juvenile, when his vehicle hit a semi-truck that was stopped in the road and backing into a driveway. 

Hanner Sr. was pronounced dead at the scene after being thrown from his car, and the passengers were taken to Our Lady of the Lake Medical Center, where Hanner Jr. later died due to severe brain damage and other severe injuries. 

"Our family is grieving not one but two unimaginable losses. We are humbly asking for your support during this difficult time. Any and all donations will go directly toward giving Raymond Sr. and Raymond Jr the proper burial they deserve," Hanner Sr.'s son Herman said in a GoFundMe.
