Caddo deputies are asking drivers to avoid Louisiana Highway 2 in Hosston while they investigate a crash involving an SUV and an 18-wheeler, said Sheriff Steve Prator.

The call came in at approximately 10:36 a.m. on Wednesday. Caddo deputies responded and found the driver of an SUV partially submerged in a bayou right by the Hwy. 2 bridge. Caddo Fire District 8 extracted the driver and transported her to an area hospital. The 18-wheeler suffered some damage, but its driver is okay. 

Both lanes of LA-2 are closed and drivers are being diverted to Gilliam Scotts Slough Rd. while deputies investigate how the crash happened.
