Lake Charles Police Need Public’s Help Finding Tractor-Trailer With Major Wheel and Equipment Loss, Spotted Near I-10 Bridge Crash Scene

LAKE CHARLES, LOUISIANA — Lake Charles Police need the public’s help. They are trying to identify a tractor-trailer spotted on westbound Interstate 10 near the Calcasieu River Bridge Sunday morning. The vehicle shows significant wheel and equipment loss. It needs urgent repair.

The tractor-trailer traveled westbound on I-10 at approximately 6:20 a.m. on March 22, 2026. That timing is significant. Just minutes earlier, a bucket truck went over the side of the Calcasieu River Bridge during a multi-vehicle pileup on the same stretch of highway. Investigators want to know if the two incidents are connected.

Anyone with information should contact Sergeant Scott Dougherty with the Lake Charles Police Traffic Division at 337-491-1456 ext. 5427.
