MHP says when they finish unloading the material on the truck and start the process to get it upright, both lanes of eastbound I-10 may close in the area.

According to the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT), this is one of multiple crashes in the area. They say the heavy fog is making driving conditions more dangerous.
