Lake Charles, Louisiana – The Lake Charles Police Department reported a multi-vehicle crash Monday morning on Interstate 210 Westbound near Exit 6, the Ryan Street exit, blocking both lanes of traffic.
The incident was reported at 8:15 a.m. on Monday, Dec. 15, according to police. At the time the information was released, authorities did not provide an estimated time for when the roadway would reopen. No additional details about the number of vehicles involved, possible injuries, or the cause of the crash were immediately available.
The crash occurred on I-210 Westbound in the Lake Charles area, near one of the city’s key exits.

Drivers in Lake Charles are encouraged to use alternate routes, including nearby surface streets and other exits before the closure point, when possible.
