Natchitoches Parish Fire District 4, the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office, Provencal Police, and towing companies were on the scene of an 18 wheeler incident on March 25 around 10:20 am at the intersection of LA 117 and LA120.
During heavy fog early this morning, the driver encountered loose gravel in the S turn at the intersection and exited the roadway, sinking axle-deep into the mud.
Measures to mitigate a leak in a diesel tank were started, using a water-based putty to seal around the leak. A small amount, approximately 5 gallons had spilled before the leak was stopped.
