(AP) Louisiana State Police say two highway wrecks killed five people in the opening hours of the Thanksgiving weekend. Trooper Melissa Matey says in a news release that an Abbeville man and his nephew died when their motorcycles ran into a tractor-trailer Wednesday evening in Iberia Parish. She says 25-year-old Gerald Mitchell and his uncle, 45-year-old Jones Mitchell, were heading west on Louisiana Highway 14 and the big rig turned into their path. She says that shortly after 2 a.m. yesterday, a 2012 Jaguar XF ran off the Parish Road 11 in Port Sulphur, hit a tree and burst into flames. She says all three occupants died and will be identified through autopsies.
(AP) Insurance commissioner Jim Donelon reminds property insurance policy-holders that time is running out to get a rebate on money paid to help support Louisiana’s insurer of last resort. Fifty-two percent of the refunds available for 2011 remain unclaimed. The deadline for claiming them is Dec. 31. They total $34 million. The assessment on every property insurance policy supports Louisiana Citizens Property Insurance Corp. But 72 percent of each assessment is refundable. Rebates can be requested online, on paper or on your annual tax return. Citizens was created to insure property that no other company would insure. At its peak in 2008, it had 174,000 policies. It has shifted 60 percent of those to private insurers. Donelon says that this year, seven companies will take another 13,200 residential policies.
