U.S. 90 between Berwick and Patterson was open again at 4 p.m. after a lunchtime crash involving an 18-wheeler.
No injuries were reported in the two-vehicle crash on U.S. 90 at Universe in Bayou Vista, according to Louisiana State Police Troop I spokesman Thomas Gossen. But the crash dumped diesel fuel and empty but heavy containers onto the roadway.
Immediately after the crash, U.S. 90 was closed in both directions, the St. Mary Sheriff's Office said. At 12:18 p.m., an eastbound lane was opened but the westbound lanes remained closed while diesel was cleaned up.
By 12:27 p.m., drivers were able to use the shoulder on westbound and eastbound U.S. 90. And just after 4 p.m., the Sheriff's Office reported that the highway was open.
