Caddo deputies are asking drivers to avoid the 4100 block of LA 169 between Blanchard Furrh Rd. and Blanchard Latex Rd. as they investigate a crash, said Sheriff Steve Prator.

On Tuesday, just before 2:30 p.m., Caddo Parish Sheriff’s deputies responded to a call about an 18-wheeler that flipped over.  Caddo Fire District 3 also responded and transported the driver to the hospital.

The crash remains under investigation.  One lane is closed at the moment, but once the tow truck arrives to clear the road a section of LA 169 North will be completely shutdown.
