I-10 Reopens After Truck Crash Early Tuesday

Is it a sign of the times that more and more Louisiana residents are now out and about? The sign I am talking about is the sudden increase in traffic-related mishaps reported on Interstate 10. During the height of the lockdown we reported very few incidents on that roadway, well that all changed early Tuesday morning between the Scott exit and the exit for Ambassador Caffery Parkway.

State Police say an 18-wheeler carrying a flammable material, later identified as propylene tetramer, overturned while in the eastbound lanes of travel. The driver of the big rig was reported to be uninjured in the crash.
