When you start an FYI please include a complete description of the situation. What you posted was almost useless.

The new Baton Rouge bridge is closed. Do you need a pic of the wreck?

Two trapped when smaller vehicle is crushed between two trucks on MS River Bridge
BATON ROUGE - A passenger vehicle was crushed between two 18-wheelers at the top of the I-10 Mississippi River Bridge Tuesday.
The crash closed the interstate for hours, leading to interstate-wide gridlock.
Click HERE to see the WBRZ traffic map.
The crash was on I-10 W just after the on-ramp from Old South Baton Rouge as the span over the river begins.
Baton Rouge Police said an approaching semi could not stop in time when traffic slowed and crashed into the back of the vehicle, pushing the vehicle into the back of another 18-wheeler. Two people in the passenger vehicle were trapped as it became wedged between the two trucks.
Four people were rushed to the hospital from the scene, one person injured so severely, they were transported via medical helicopter.
Police did not have immediate information about if any driver would be ticketed.

It’s been at a standstill for a few hours. Traffic will be messed up all night. Just an FYI for anyone reading.

18-wheelers should be forced to take old bridge and 190 to Opelousas.

Who cares about the tickets, what injury attorney did they sign up?
They were probably distracted by all those billboards for attorneys - maybe they can file a special claim.

I bet he deployed his army to follow the ambulance.

I traveled over the bridge east bound this afternoon and it was a gut wrenching scene knowing that there was a car between the two 18 wheelers. Fortunately I did not have a good look at the car that was between the two 18 wheelers because it appeared that there may have been four feet between the two 18 wheelers.
Please say a prayer for everyone involved

Trucks should have to stay in the right lane through Baton Rouge. Have cameras set up to issue massive fines.
