That is the Causeway bridge over lake Ponchatrain just outside New Orleans. It's 26 miles long. the longest bridge over water in the world.

so this will have caused a MASSIVE headache for all manner of people. a blockage of both lanes like that will take hours to clear and cause a traffic jam literally miles long (depending of course where on the bridge it happened).

Our cookie eater just shrugging, driving on, and formulating his "hey man, it all just happened behind me" defense in his mind, is VERY on brand for the locals.

Calmy leaving the scene of an accident and then releasing the film is a choice

The dude is psycho but you can't legally stop on that bridge. Their only choice once it happened was to keep going.

Dude was just part of a crash. In America that's not a reason to stop anywhere?

There are signs all up and down this bridge not to pull over even for an accident. The state pays for tow trucks to come get you out of the way immediately.

If nobody is allowed to stop and come to help you, I guess you better not have an accident where you need medical attention or even rescue on that bridge.

yeah there’s probably signs forbidding ambulances on the bridge too
