IBERVILLE PARISH - Before sunrise Wednesday morning an 18-wheeler crashed near Ramah on I-10 East.

Louisiana State Police say 18-wheeler ran off the road and was cited for careless operation.

For a time, authorities labeled the accident as a possible hazmat situation, but this concern has since been resolved.

It took officials hours to work with the 18-wheeler for vehicle removal and offloading.
