Police say a tanker truck rear-ended a Louisiana State Police unit Friday morning, causing an explosion and sending both drivers to the hospital. The crash happened on I-12 Eastbound near the Colyell/Satsuma exit around 4:30 a.m. Both eastbound lanes were closed at the Walker exit around 4:50 a.m. The fire was put out around 6:30 a.m. Officials say the trooper was parked on the left shoulder of I-12 with his emergency lights on when the tanker left the roadway and hit the back of the unit.
