St. Martin Parish, LA – Drivers traveling along Interstate 10 in the Acadiana region are facing delays Monday after a crash involving two tractor-trailers blocked part of the westbound lanes.
According to Louisiana State Police, troopers are currently on scene near mile marker 117, just past the Butte La Rose exit, where the crash has shut down the right lane of travel. The incident was reported Monday morning, April 20, and is expected to impact traffic for several hours.
Officials say the crash involves two commercial motor vehicles, commonly referred to as semi-trucks. While the full circumstances surrounding the collision have not yet been released, authorities confirmed that the right lane remains blocked as crews work to clear the scene.
Motorists traveling westbound on I-10 through St. Martin Parish should anticipate delays of up to three hours. Traffic congestion is already building in the area, particularly for drivers heading between Baton Rouge and Lafayette, a heavily traveled corridor in southern Louisiana.
Drivers are being urged to slow down, remain alert, and consider alternate routes if possible. Officials also recommend checking real-time traffic updates through the state’s 511 system, available by phone or online, to stay informed about changing road conditions.
No information has been released regarding injuries at this time. Louisiana State Police continue to monitor the situation and will provide updates as they become available.
