ST. GABRIEL — A segment of Bayou Paul Lane in St. Gabriel was closed down Tuesday after an 18-wheeler pulled down multiple poles and electrical wires, local police said.

When the incident occurred, the 18-wheeler was traveling westbound near Amanda Grace Anderson Park. At least one home was also damaged.

According to police, crews are on-site assessing the situation and working to make repairs. Officials advise taking alternate routes and will provide updates as they come in.

Police chief Kevin Ambeau said that, while there are no laws against semi-trucks being on that part of Bayou Paul Lane, however he did say the truck driver was at fault.
