BUT IF YOU’RE TRAVELING THROUGH NEW ORLEANS EAST NEAR THE INTERSTATE OF CROWDER AND THE I-10 SERVICE ROAD, WE CONTINUE TO SEE AN ACCIDENT WORKING THERE. ALSO BIG PROBLEMS FOR DRIVERS TRAVELING THROUGH ELMWOOD. THIS MORNING. WE CONTINUE TO SEE AN OVERTURNED VEHICLE SOUTH CLEARVIEW PARKWAY AT THE EARHART EXPRESSWAY, SO PLEASE AVOID THE AREA IF YOU CAN ALSO SEEING A NEW ACCIDENT I-10 EASTBOUND AT MILE MARKER 202A SERIOUS ACCIDENT RIGHT BEFORE LAPLACE.
