I-10 West is blocked on the Bonnet Carre Spillway due to a car fire.

The left lane was reopened around 6:30 a.m., but traffic is still slow-moving.

Most drivers are using Airline Highway as an alternate route.

WWL-TV in New Orleans reports at least one person died in the crash.

The closures are causing heavy delays for people trying to get out of New Orleans.
