A wreck involving two semi-trucks early this morning (Friday, March 18, 2022) forced law enforcement to close down I-20 eastbound in Shreveport at Hearne Avenue. The accident happened shortly before 4:30 am this morning near Greenwood Road heading eastbound on I-20.

According to Sgt. Lonnie Haskins with the Shreveport Police Department, no one was injured in the wreck.

As you can tell, first responders had a big job on their hands this morning as they worked with area wreckers to clear the wreck.

Clearly, getting these two semi-trucks out of the ditch was quite the process.

As of 7:36 am this morning, authorities were able to free the first truck. And guess who was in the cab along with their driver?

Yes, that's a Rottweiler for a co-pilot and the pup is doing just fine, even after having a 'ruff' morning. Our contact on site said they made sure to give him a sausage biscuit to help him deal with the trauma of the wreck.

According to officers on the scene, I-20 eastbound at Hearne Avenue will remain closed for the next few hours as they work to get the second semi-truck out and clean the mud off of the interstate to help prevent any further accidents.

Even though the wreck impacted the morning commute for many drivers in Shreveport, I think we can all be grateful that no one was hurt and that the situation is 'fixable.'
