The Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office is urging drivers to avoid the intersection of La. Highway 74 and La. Highway 73 after an accident this afternoon.
An 18-wheeler flipped at the intersection. The crash blocked traffic around the time nearby Dutchtown High School was dismissing.
Witnesses told WBRZ, the truck just toppled over.
"Looks like they just tried to make a turn and flipped over in the middle of the street," a worker at a business at the corner said.
Heavy delays are expected.
