Retired LSCO President Dr. Michael Shahan was not injured in a crash Sunday afternoon even though the pickup truck he was driving rolled over and landed on the roof.
His 2018 Ford F150 pickup truck collided with a 2016 Chrysler 200 passenger car at the intersection of Edgar Brown Drive at Bluebonnet Drive. The crash was about 1:30 p.m.
