18-wheeler crash on I-220 kills driver, Shreveport police investigate cause

SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – The driver of an 18-wheeler that crashed on I-220 West on Friday morning died as a result of the crash, and investigators are working to determine the cause.

Preliminary findings from the Shreveport police crash investigation indicate that the big rig was traveling west on I-220 when the driver lost control of the vehicle, causing it to veer off the roadway, strike a guardrail, and collide with a concrete wall.

The impact of the crash crushed the 18-wheeler’s cab and fatally injured the driver.

The on-ramps to I-220 West at North Market Street, Pete Harris Drive, and Benton Road were temporarily shut down following a crash involving an 18-wheeler near the I-49 overpass. A large section of the interstate was blocked as crews responded to the scene.

KTAL captured video showing the truck on the rail and over the interstate median, and the crash crushed the big rig’s cab.

On Wednesday, an 18-wheeler crashed into the I-49 overpass near the site of Friday’s crash.
