I-10 pileup at the TX/LA state line snarled traffic for several hours

Archived as originally published. Information reflects the date of this article.

Interstate 10 traffic was backed up for miles after an early Friday morning crash involving several large commercial vehicles occurred at the Texas-Louisiana state line. The Texas Department of Public Safety says at about 1:35 a.m., a westbound 18-wheeler hit a piece of equipment that fell off of a vehicle, and the big-rig then hit the inside concrete barrier. After that it was a chain-reaction with more trucks and other vehicles crashing into the initial wreck. Amazingly, there were no injuries. It took until 10:00 Friday morning to clean up the wreckage and get traffic moving again.
