Much more plausible than the dummy saying the cop was shooting radar from the left lane somehow. Hope everyone is ok.

There’s no shoulder there. I’m sure the potato cops thought everyone would somehow see them at the top of the big hill. They should have blocked off the left lane back down before the hill so this wouldn’t happen.

100 percent the cops fault for radaring people


Bruh. When I used to commute from Broussard to Baton Rouge the cops would hang out on the shoulder to radar and cause a traffic pile up. I'm convinced that this was more dangerous than the baw going 11 mph over the speed limit.

Been stuck right at the bottom of the bridge since just before 7am. The officer and dotd both had their lights on, you could see them from the butte la rose exit, all lights went dark about 30 seconds before I got to the bridge. Other passing officers said the officer involved was fine but other vehicle involved, I’m assuming the dotd driver, was who got airlifted out. First time I’ve seen two air evacs at one scene.

no surprise. Fed Ex has some of the shittiest drivers



They are professional truck drivers, after all. In 2022, that means they are horrible behind the wheel.

Sweet Jesus. Even the cops are involved in this one.


And the DOTD road angle...

If that Fed Ex driver caused the accident, looks like Ole Gordo will be able to buy another billboard or two...

Yep, looks like Fed Ex was in the passing lane. That’ll cause a stink.

This is exactly what we just discussed. Hopefully it’s not a gridlock the whole way. Thanks for the advice.

For starters that Fed Ex truck should have his big, slow arse in the right lane!

Yep, trucks are limited to 55 mph and right lane only on the bridge.

Of course they all fricking ignore this. fricking assholes can’t even follow the law for the twenty-something miles it takes to cross the bridge.

So may things could have happened, not just FedEx truck. Maybe he was avoiding others that tried to avoid, etc etc.

Bottom line is they have gotten too relaxed when working on spots and just are safety first anymore.

This state is embarrassing with its issues from Henderson to BR on I10. Worst stretch of I10 in the entire US

Yeah I’m not jumping to conclusions. I really see more a-hole drivers from Texas than I do big trucks.
