Central police looking for vehicle involved in 18-wheeler crash
CENTRAL, La. (BRPROUD) —The Central Police Department has released more details about the tanker truck that overturned on April 19.
Shortly before 7:30 p.m. on April 19, a tanker truck overturned on Hooper Road in Central. It was between Devall and Greenwell Springs. The crash knocked out the power for hours. Police said the driver of the 18-wheeler was trapped in the cab of the vehicle.
In a Wednesday Facebook post, police said they learned the tanker truck driver was not at fault. Police said video evidence showed a white GMC truck crossing the centerline.
The tanker truck driver veered off the road to avoid hitting another vehicle head-on. This saved the lives of other drivers on the road, police said.
The police are working to find the vehicle. They said that license plate readers are throughout Central.
“There may be thousands of images to review, but the likelihood we will identify you is high. You may want to consider turning yourself in,” police said.
