An early morning crash on I-10 West caused major delays as crews worked on a serious accident. According to the Mire Fire Department, an 18-wheeler crashed and landed on its side, thus causing lane closures just before Rayne. You can see in the photo below that there was damage done to the safety cables that run parallel to the interstate.

Acadiana drivers should expect heavy delays on Interstate 10 West before Rayne because of an overturned 18-wheeler and a separate six-vehicle crash, according to officials. The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development reported a tractor-trailer overturned near Grand Prairie Highway around 6 a.m.

A crash closed Interstate 10 eastbound to New Orleans at Interstate 55, leading to two miles of congestion, according to the Louisiana Department of Traffic and Development. Two right lanes were reopened after 10 a.m. while the left lane remained blocked, according to DOTD.
