BREAKING NEWS: TRAIN COLLISION CAUSES CHAOS IN NEW IBERIA AS IT DERAILS AFTER COLLIDING WITH AN 18-WHEELER
In a shocking turn of events on August 21, 2023, at around 5:00 p.m., distress calls flooded the Iberia Parish Sheriff's Office reporting a catastrophic train derailment at the intersection of LA Highway 182 and Airport Boulevard. Swiftly responding to the crisis, deputies swiftly cordoned off surrounding roads to ensure public safety.
Sheriff Romero urgently appealed to the public, urging them to steer clear of Highway 182 as diligent crews commenced their arduous task of clearing the wreckage. Regrettably, this section of the highway will remain closed until further notice, necessitating commuters and students to devise alternative routes for their daily routines.
Providing a glimmer of relief, the Louisiana State Police Hazmat team has officially rescinded the evacuation order for residents residing near the derailment site. It is now deemed safe for these individuals to return to the comfort of their homes, alleviating some of the anxiety that has gripped the community.
However, it is important to note that Highway 182 remains inaccessible from Hwy 674 (NW Bypass) to Highway 88, causing significant disruptions to the flow of traffic. On the bright side, Highway 88 remains unaffected and open for use.
As the sun rises on a new day, the diligent efforts of BNSF continue to clear the debris obstructing Highway 182. Regrettably, the highway remains closed for the time being, inconveniencing countless individuals who rely on this vital route.
