VIDEO: Crews 'vent and burn' I-10 truck in Baton Rouge
Jay Vise Reporting
Workers removed a dangerous load from a disabled tanker truck last night in a most spectacular fashion.
I-10 reopened this morning in both directions after being closed for more than 24 hours following a crash involving the tanker truck.
Late Wednesday night, a state hazardous material response team performed a "vent and burn" procedure on a tanker truck which had been disabled since early that morning.
The tanker had been leaking a fuel similar to liquified propane, and officials had determined it was too dangerous to move the rig or offload the material.
