The crash led to the complete closure of I-10 West at Dalrymple Drive and the closure of two right lanes on the eastbound side.

At least one person was transported to a hospital in serious condition. Westbound motorists were diverted at South Acadian Thruway, with backups affecting traffic near LSU and downtown Baton Rouge.
