ALGIERS, La. -- Police closed down Behrman Highway for nearly five hours as crews worked to remove a vacuum truck and an RTA bus that collided Wednesday afternoon.
Police say 16 people were injured in the crash, 11 of which were treated at the hospital.
Witnesses say it was a scene right out of a movie -- a loud explosion, heavy smoke and flames nearly 20 feet high.
