Homes are being evacuated in White Castle after a train hit an 18-wheeler carrying butane.
This changes my route for driving to Grand isle slightly.

Itll all be flashed off by the time they let everyone know it happened.

WHITE CASTLE, LA (WAFB) - Authorities are on the scene of a crash in which a train hit an 18-wheeler.
The Iberville Parish Sheriff’s Office reported it happened near the intersection of LA 69 (Bowie Street) and LA 1 in White Castle.
The White Castle Police Department is handling the investigation into the crash and Louisiana State Police is assisting. There are no reported injuries.
The tanker part of the big rig is not leaking, according to the sheriff's office. It is carrying butane. The truck is leaking some diesel. HAZMAT is on the scene and will decide whether the butane needs to be offloaded to another tanker.
Highway 69 is shut down for now until the wreck clears.

I will never understand how people get hit with trains. A guy I know got hit by train twice.

It happened 100ft. from the fire department

Have they determined who was at fault?

I read this as a Train rain into a White Castle restaurant

The human brain is not used to something that big moving so fast and misunderestimates the speed. It's science.

Never bring a truck to a train fight...
First rule we learn in driver's ed... "Trains have the right of way"....

Agree. So common sense says be careful.

Clearly the train’s fault.
It’s never the truck driver’s fault.

There used to be a set of old style sequential little billboards on Hwy 71 around Lebeau that read:
Remember this
If you'd be spared
Trains don't whistle
Because they're scared

It sure isn't the trains fault. Cargo hauls, school buses, etc are required by law to stop at crossings before they can proceed.
