Deputies Respond to Covington-Area Fatal Crash

The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's office reported today that shortly before 7 p.m. Monday night
(November 25, 2019), deputies responded to a two-vehicle crash on West Frontage Road near Fairway Drive in the Covington area.

The investigation has revealed that Charles Juncker (66), for unknown reasons, failed to negotiate a curve and traveled into the opposing lane of traffic where he struck a 2014 Ford Explorer.

Juncker's passenger, a 91-year-old woman, was transported to a local hospital, where she died several hours later. Juncker and the driver of the Ford Explorer were transported to a local area hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Juncker was issued a citation for Careless Operation. Toxicology is pending and impairment is suspected to be a factor in the crash. The investigation is ongoing.
