Three Nursing Home Residents Die During Hurricane Evacuation
BATON ROUGE, La. The hurricane evacuation has turned deadly in Louisiana.
Three people being bused to a Baton Rouge church died: one aboard the bus, another at the church and the third at a hospital. They were being moved from New Orleans.
The coroner's office in East Baton Rouge Parish isn't saying yet how the three people died but says many other people riding on the same bus were dehydrated.
He says some of the elderly people already were "pretty fragile."
Travelers reported the trip on the evacuation route from New Orleans to Baton Rouge was taking several hours because of traffic jams.
