Bridge General Manager Carlton Dufrechou said he did not have details about the incident but said it may be related to a motorist who ran through the north shore toll booths without paying sometime after 9 a.m. "A weapon may have been drawn," Dufrechou said.

Officials said the southbound bridge may be closed for about three hours. Dufrechou asked that southbound motorists find alternate routes.
so it seems like this guy shot himself while driving...
quote:
The motorist drove onto the bridge from the North Shore without paying a toll some time after 9 a.m., he said. The toll attendant notified police, who caught up with the black SUV and saw it hit the inside guardrail, bounce across both lanes and then hit the outside guardrail before coming to a halt around mid-span.
Police broke a window to get the motorist out of the SUV and determined he had been shot, Dufrechou said.
"From what I understand, he shot himself while the vehicle was moving," he said.

Lol where did the perp think he was gonna hide? Spoiler alert: it's a long, straight bridge. They could just wait for you on the other side.

Armed standoff on the Causeway southbound
quote:
Officials have closed the southbound Causeway from the Northshore to the Southshore because of a reported armed standoff.
"I was just told by police that we have an individual with a weapon on the bridge, and I know that we have a bunch of police cars out there right now," Causeway General Manager Carlton Dufrechou told WWL First News. "I know there was a weapon involved."
He said at 10:00am that he expected an extended bridge closure.
"Southbound bridge is going to be closed probably two, maybe three hours. Please ask anyone on the Northshore that needs to come south to us an alternate route."
I-55 or I-10 are the alternates.

Just passed it going northbound. They had the guy outside his car surrounded by at least 10 officers. Never seen that many cops on the bridge. I was able to go 90 the whole way home.

do they have traffic/security type cams on that bridge?

Around 10 this morning and it sounds like only one showed up and he is likely to leave in a coroner's van

I hope you and everyone else that drives 90 mph on that bridge has a single car accident and ends up in the lake. Dickhead.

Have a traffic tip? Call 260-INFO

It was obviously a joke to express how many cops are on one side of the causeway. Clearly you've never crossed it you thread derailing attention seeking frick.
