Interstate 55 Southbound in Akers, Louisiana was temporarily shut down on Friday due to two consecutive crashes near Manchac. An 18-wheeler crashed on the bridge, causing it to dangle from the side. While the truck has been removed, other vehicles involved in the accident are still being cleared from the area. One truck spilled degreaser soap on the bridge, which was promptly cleaned up by crews. Fortunately, there were only minor injuries reported as a result of the crashes. To avoid traffic congestion, drivers are advised to use the alternate route via US-51, also known as the old low road. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safe driving practices on the road, especially in hazardous conditions.
