NEW ORLEANS — Downed power lines stopped traffic in both directions on Interstate 10 in New Orleans on Tuesday morning.
All lanes were closed around 10 a.m. after a power line near Carrollton Avenue fell, struck a car, and got stuck under another vehicle.
The driver of the car that the powerline hit told WWL-TV reporter Danny Monteverde that she feels more than lucky.
"I don't feel lucky. I feel blessed," she said. "I'm more than blessed because, like I said, a little bit more could've been a different conversation - or no conversation."
Entergy New Orleans crews were on the scene within minutes working to clear the line. All lanes were reopened just before noon.
