ETA UPDATE: LINK

quote:

State Police identified the bus driver as Denis Yasmir Amaya Rodriguez, of Honduras, who turned 37 earlier this month. Amaya — who had no driver's license — admitted to troopers that he was in the United States without necessary immigration documents and was driving a group of largely Honduran workers from New Orleans to Baton Rouge to assist in relief efforts following the devastating flooding there earlier this month, Trooper Melissa Matey said.


Just got this message:

Knew something was going on. Been hearing sirens all morning. Way too much activity for a Sunday morning. And a helicopter just flew over my house in that direction.

Damn, hate when this shite happens.

Tried finding it on the cameras, but traffic looked like it was flowing normally.

@NOLA_Traffic 43m43 minutes ago I-10 West is closed to traffic at Mile Post 203 due to an accident. Traffic is being diverted at LA 3188 (Belle Terre Boulevard). (1/2)

Man, not good. At least it's daylight for the S&R folks to work in. Those incidents are even tougher at night.

Google Maps shows an accident with traffic backing up west bound so I am assuming that is this incident.

Appears that the accident is on the 3 mole bridge and they are diverting traffic to Belle Terre.


Disclaimer - This is just an assumption from Google Maps so don't take it as anything but an assumption.

It baffles me that local news outlets don't report things like this while they are occurring these days.

That's terrible. This is why I am such a defensive driver and try to stay away from other vehicles on the road. I do not want to die in a car wreck.
