The driver of the car hauler suffered minor injuries.  Because of the location of the crash, first responders had to cross into Louisiana and turn around to get to the scene.

Eastbound traffic is moving slowly and the clean-up is expected to take most of the day to complete.

Please use caution and expect delays if traveling through this area Sunday.
