One person injured and taken to hospital after rear-end crash near the Causeway drawbridge in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana

The northbound lanes of the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway have reopened following an earlier wreck, according to Causeway officials. The Bridge General Manager said a three-vehicle wreck occurred near the drawbridge at around 10 a.m. The drawbridge was open to allow a barge to pass, he said. A northbound driver did not stop and plowed into the back of a stopped vehicle, he said. St. Tammany Fire District No. 1 spokesman Jason Kaufmann said one person had to be extricated. That person was taken to a local hospital, he said.
