The driver of the 18 wheeler stopped thankfully. 🙏🏽 NOPD says he’s been cooperating with the investigation.🙏🏽 @waldrup_richard

This is sad to hear.😥There’s a bike lane off to the right. Hopefully the person behind the 18 wheeler is caught or decides to turn himself in. Please be cautious and safe.🙏🚔

@SHAYOCONNORWDSU reporting on a preschool in Algiers Point that reportedly has a student being treated for lead poisoning. Which then led to testing and a closure of the school to losing the lease on the property. A snowball effect of disaster for the parents & students.

Talk about speaking it into existence! I met Kyla years ago and she told me about her goal to become a tv journalist. She held a mic for her first time when we took the pic to the left. Years later and the #Nola native and LSU student is now an intern at our station.❤️So proud!💪🏽
