Authorities report that the I-210 Westbound ramp to I-10 Westbound near mile marker 25, close to Sulphur, remains closed following an 18-wheeler rollover incident. The rollover occurred earlier today, prompting a response from local law enforcement officials, including state troopers who are actively investigating the scene.

The 18-wheeler, a large commercial truck, has created a significant obstruction, blocking westbound traffic flow completely.
