Tanker truck carrying flammable gas overturns on I-10 in Baton Rouge

BATON ROUGE, La. (WGNO) – Eastbound Interstate-10 near the I-10/I-12 split is closed due to a overturned tanker truck. According to State Police, the closer may last several hours.

Traffic is currently being diverted from I-10 East to Siegen Lane and detouring vehicles onto I-12 eastbound.

Motorists are advised to use Airline Highway as an alternate route until the interstate is reopened. All entrance ramps onto I-10 eastbound from Essen Lane, Bluebonnet Boulevard and Siegen Lane are closed until further notice, according to DOTD.

WBRZ reports that the truck was carrying liquefied petroleum gas, which is highly flammable. There have yet to be definitive reports confirming spillage of the gas.

State Police are asking drivers to avoid the area, and drive carefully.
