THE POST-SIGNAL / Steve Bandy
No injuries were reported Thursday morning when an 18-wheeler drove off the side of the pontoon bridge in Estherwood. The rig was southbound on the bridge and was approaching the southern bank of Bayou Plaquemine Brulé when the cab left the roadway and plowed into the bank and shoulder of Louisiana Highway 91. The tractor-trailer followed the cab off the side of the bridge and came to rest partially submerged in the bayou. State Police Troop I is investigating. The pontoon bridge was closed last fall, also after an 18-wheeler crash there.
