GRAMERCY - I-10 eastbound was closed due to a six-vehicle crash involving an overturned 18-wheeler. 

Traffic officials said I-10 was closed at the LA-641 Gramercy exit. Vehicle recovery was underway as of 6 a.m. and was complete just after 7 a.m.. Officials said the truck was carrying nitrogen, but there was no leak, which is why recovery had to be such a careful process.

Drivers must take exit 641 and take Airline Highway to get to Laplace. 

There was no immediate information on whether anyone was injured. This is a developing story.
