The crash did not result in any injuries, and according to officials with the Baton Rouge Fire Department, the 18-wheeler was leaking diesel from saddle tanks, which are side tanks that hold the truck's fuel.

Fire officials said that as of 9 a.m., Hazmat had stopped the leak and officials were waiting for the wrecker to arrive, in addition to the arrival of sand for the roadway.

This crash was one of many in Baton Rouge and surrounding areaa on Wednesday morning. The list of wrecks included an overturned 18-wheeler in Satsuma that briefly closed I-12 East around the same time as the crash on the Mississippi River Bridge.

Wednesday's rainy conditions likely played a role in contributing to multiple traffic incidents and road closures.
