LaPlace, La. -- Five people were killed early Friday when a driver going the wrong way crashed into another vehicle on Interstate 10 outside New Orleans, authorities said.
A driver was traveling eastbound in the westbound lanes of I-10 near LaPlace, when it crashed head-on with another vehicle with four people inside, said Louisiana State Trooper Nick Manale.
The car traveling the wrong way burst into flames. All five people died at the scene.
Manale said an 18-wheeler then sideswiped the wreck and another vehicle hit the 18-wheeler. The drivers of those vehicles suffered only minor injuries.
The westbound lanes of I-10 were closed and traffic was being diverted, Manale said.
New Orleans TV station WWLTV reported that state police got several calls about a vehicle going the wrong way. LaPlace is about 25 miles west of New Orleans
