The westbound lanes of Interstate 10 had to be shut down from College Street to Washington Boulevard just after 9 p.m. Saturday following a major accident.

A woman who was involved in the accident was taken to Christus Hospital  St. Elizabeth with what officers said are serious injuries.

Investigators say it appears a driver lost control of a car that struck the median, a truck then struck another car before stopping.


A dispatcher Sunday morning told 12News the Interstate has reopened, but did not have any other details.
