Flaming Semi Shuts Down I-10 | Baton Rouge News

A semi-truck carrying orange juice burst into flames early Friday near the 10/11 highway split after clipping a guardrail while merging onto the Mississippi River Bridge ramp. The driver and passenger were hospitalized for fire-related injuries but are expected to recover. The crash caused massive traffic backups stretching to College Drive. Authorities are investigating, but the guardrail is the prime suspect in sparking the blaze — a sobering reminder to stay alert around big rigs.
