You’ll probably want to avoid eastbound Interstate 10 if you’re out and about Baton Rouge today. State police are telling local media outlets that they don’t know how long the eastbound interstate lanes will be closed following an accident around 8:45 a.m. that left an 18-wheeler overturned between the Siegen Lane and Highland Road exits. The accident is being investigated, and no injuries have been reported. The 18-wheeler, which is reportedly filled with 76,000 pounds of cement; none of which spilled in the wreck, ended up off the roadway. While the wreck initially closed just one lane of the interstate, all lanes have since been closed as a crew works to upright the truck and move it. State police did not return calls seeking comment on the accident before press time.
