I-10 Twin Span Closed, Commercial Vehicle Walking Water | A Tammany

All westbound lanes on the Interstate 10 Twin Span Bridge are closed after a two-vehicle accident, New Orleans said.

Police said the crash involved an 18-wheel and another vehicle. A vehicle went across the bridge into the lake Pontchartrain in the crash on Tuesday afternoon, authorities said.

The vehicle in the water was a “commercial vehicle,” said Louisiana State Police Trooper Marc Gremillion. Other media said an 18-wheel was in the water.

New Orleans police said at 1 p.m. 14.44 the westbound lanes were closed.

St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office Marine Division responds, said St. Tammany Sheriff’s LT Suzanne Carboni.

The driver of one of the vehicles was recovered from the stage and did not report any damage, the press release said, but was sent to a St. Tammany Parish Hospital, says New Orleans Police Department.
