Ascension Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness said there is no word on how long it will take to get the vehicle up-right and out of the way. Department head Rick Weber said it would be “quite awhile” and could take several hours. Motorists should use either LA 74, I-10 or River Road as alternate routes.

One person was moderately injured.

OHS&EP said the 18-wheeler contains nitrogen but is currently in stable condition.
