BREAUX BRIDGE, La. (KPEL News) — Louisiana State Police Troop I is working the scene of a serious crash involving two tractor-trailers on I-10 Westbound near mile marker 117, just past the Butte La Rose exit on the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge, according to a traffic advisory issued Monday morning.
The right lane of travel is blocked. Authorities estimate the lane closure will last approximately three hours from the time of the advisory, which was issued just before 11 a.m.
Photos from the scene show one Peterbilt semi with heavy front-end damage and debris scattered across the roadway, along with what appears to be a large metal panel — likely cargo or trailer material — lying flat on the bridge deck with damage to the concrete barrier along the edge.
