BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -

A portion of interstate was shut down for several hours after an 18-wheeler hit the retaining wall late Sunday night.

The accident happened on the I-10 East ramp to I-110 North just before 11 p.m.

The Baton Rouge Police Department said the tractor trailer slammed into the barrier on the onramp and the cab partially went over the side.

The big rig spilled its load in the process.

The driver was not injured.

It is unknown what it was hauling, but the material was not hazardous.

Investigators reported the truck driver refused to cooperate but added it appears the driver lost control and hit the wall several times before the semi stopped on it.

The driver was taken in for questioning. The driver's name has not been released.

BRPD has not said if charges will be filed. Officers will likely release the name if charges are filed.

The roadway was reopened around 3 a.m.

The wreck remains under investigation.
