Louisiana Truck Accident Causes Serious Traffic Complications

January 15, 2008

Earlier this week a truck overturned on Interstate 12 near Covington, spilling all of its contents along the road and causing traffic delays for about 10 hours. According to the driver, the sun blocked his vision and caused him to swerve and lose control of his truck, which overturned along the interstate.

The Louisiana truck crash caused traffic delays for most of the day, as traffic was slow-going in both directions while road crews cleared the truck and its content from the road. All lanes were finally open a little before 6 p.m.

Additionally, the slow traffic caused a Louisiana auto accident, which resulted in minor injuries.
