I grabbed the pic from KATC, they didn't mention a fatality, just that one driver was still trapped in the cab of the truck.

Both westbound lanes of the Atchafalaya Bridge are closed at this time because of an 18-wheeler crash, state police said. One 18-wheeler rear-ended another. Hazmat is involved. As of 10:45 a.m., the driver of one of the trucks was trapped in the cab. We will add additional details as they become available.

Oh shite, that's not good. That looks like a cradle container which means whatever is in there is probably some bad stuff.

It looks like a tanker/chassis setup. So the wheels are set far back from the actual tank. I don't think there's a car between the two, or atleast I hope not.

No car between. Two tractor trailers.

If you're westbound on the bridge at the moment, you're gonna have a bad time.

So glad I don't make that commute anymore.

Not a great idea when HAZMAT and DEQ are there because something bad is leaking into the water.

It's about to get real ugly... People are coming off of the bridge and having to slam on their brakes because of the state troopers in the middle of the interstate...
