Breaux Bridge neighborhood off-limits to trick-or-treaters

City officials are asking trick-or-treaters to stay away from the part of town where two school children were killed and a third seriously injured by a motorist Thursday morning.
A candlelight vigil has been announced for 8:30 p.m. Thursday at Judge Carl Williams Park on West Bridge Street.
Trick-or-treating parishwide was set for Thursday 6-8 p.m. to avoid conflict with Friday night football traffic.
A spokesman for Breaux Bridge Mayor Jack Dale Delhomme said Delhomme ordered trick-or-treating is canceled west of Bayou Teche, an area that includes Martin Street where the accident occurred, Alva Drive, Begnaud Street, Courville Street and Malcolm Street.
Trick-or-treating will continue on the east side of the Bayou Teche.
Three children were hit by a speeding pickup truck as they walked to school in the 800 block of Martin Street Thursday morning. Authorities have reported that two of the children have died and a third is listed in critical condition at Our Lady of the Lake Hospital in Baton Rouge.
The driver of the truck was arrested. Authorities have not yet released the names of the driver or the victims.
