Take 190!
Bad wreck, life flight, etc.

The vehicle involved is one of the most fricked up I've ever seen.

Its been a few bad days for I10 east between lafayette and BR. Saturday it took me 3hrs to get from lafayette to BR due to construction, and the traffic looked to be just as bad sunday, when i was going back to lafayette.

I just don't understand why they don't close I10 at Henderson in this situation. I mean all those people are going to be sitting for a while (i'd assume). And thats about as shitty a place to be stuck as I can imagine. Yet they just keep letting cars onto the bridge

I agree. Once you are on that SOB, theres no where to go. You are stuck. They should close it so people like me know, and can take a different route. I would have taken 190 and been there in 90 minutes, rather than three hours.

DId anyone see the vehicle that could identify make/model/color? Someone on WAFBs FB page is saying that their coworker hasn't made it in and isn't answering calls/texts and are looking for a description of car.
