Police have blocked off section of Burbank near highland. I was driving toward highland from lsu toward highland, but it looks like both sides of Burbank closed. Not sure if the intersection is closed as well or just Burbank.

Be safe out there.

It's not clear, where you driving toward Highland?

I apologize for the ambiguity. I was headed toward Highland away from lsu and in the direction of Perkins and siegen. So as I was driving down Burbank I was getting closer to highland while driving. In other words, the front of my car was pointed towards highland.

Hopefully that clears things up a bit

Do you have access to MS Paint? A picture could really clear this up.

I'm sorry, not sure I follow, one more point to clear up

Was it a particular lane that was closed on Burbank near Highland and that's why it's important you were moving away from LSU?

Because otherwise it's the same point after all.

Just wondering.

I saw both lanes being meationed in the OP so I got confused.


I think we really need that MS Paint schematic.

He could've just said he was heading east on Burbank but the accident was after the curve towards highland.

A spokesperson for LSP said the first crash happend around 3:30 a.m. near the intersection of Burbank Drive south and Highland Road. Troopers say only one vehicle was involved in the crash. The crash closed the left lane the eastbound direction of Burbank Drive.


Single car crash at 330 am. I'd have to imagine drugs or alcohol were involved. Or perhaps exhaustion.

First you get away from campus towards Highland, Seigen, and Perkins.

Then you make the front of the car point towards Airline while still moving away from LSU.

The destination will be on your left.
