Motorhome Tire Blowout...

Published on May 12, 2015, Ascension Parish. Earlier this morning, Louisiana State Troopers from Troop A were dispatched to an overturned motorhome on Interstate 10 east of US 61 in Ascension Parish.

Crash scene investigators determined the motorhome was westbound on Interstate 10 in the left lane.

The motorhome sustained a tire failure and entered the center median, where it then impacted the cable barriers.

After impacting the cable barriers, the motorhome overturned and slid on its side across both eastbound lanes.

The driver, 69 year old Royce Denmon of Kilgore, Texas and his passenger suffered minor injuries in the crash.

A witness to the crash, 30 year old Jonathan Mendel of Metairie, Louisiana was operating an 18 wheeler westbound on Interstate 10 and captured the entire crash sequence with his dashboard camera. Mr. Mendel was also able to safely pull his vehicle onto the right shoulder and call 911.

That's a hell of a lot of money that just went sliding across the median.
