Odd, the article says Gramercy in Ascension Parish.

Edit: Nm, "Near Gramercy"

Won't be surprised if it involves one or more semis. Never seen so many truckers on the interstate yesterday in my life. Just a fricking wall. Then there's the yahoos haulers that think they should be doing 90.

I dread driving the new three lane section of I-10 near Breaux Bridge. Every damn time there are cars that take lane switching as a competitive challange.

Anyone have a description on the vehicles involved? My dad drives that area to and from work and he isn't answering his phone right now.....


He just called me back. Thankfully, it wasn't him. My thoughts go out to those involved.

I drive across the highway of death Whiskey Bay, and there are more 18 wheelers than cars/trucks.
Those mofos don’t obey road laws at all.
