Baldwin County, AL – A crash involving a pickup towing a camper closed an eastbound lane of Interstate 10 Saturday morning.
According to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA), the single-vehicle crash occurred at approximately 11:09 a.m. Saturday, March 7, near mile marker 59 in Baldwin County.
Authorities said the pickup truck was pulling a large camper trailer when the crash happened. The impact left debris scattered along the roadway and shoulder, including sections of the camper and other cargo.
As a result, the eastbound lane of Interstate 10 near mile marker 59 is currently closed, while recovery crews work to remove the damaged trailer and clear debris from the roadway.
Troopers with ALEA’s Highway Patrol Division are on scene directing traffic and investigating the cause of the crash. Officials said the lane closure will remain in place until recovery crews are able to safely remove the trailer and fully clear the roadway.
Traffic delays may develop in the area as cleanup operations continue along the interstate corridor, which serves as a major route connecting the Mobile area with coastal Baldwin County and Florida.
Motorists traveling eastbound on I-10 through Baldwin County are encouraged to use caution, slow down near emergency vehicles, and consider alternate routes if congestion increases.
ALEA officials said troopers will continue monitoring conditions and provide updates as the roadway is cleared and normal traffic flow resumes.
The incident highlights ongoing safety concerns on high-speed interstate corridors where towing large trailers can increase crash risks, particularly when sudden roadway incidents occur.
The interstate segment is commonly used by commuters and student drivers traveling between Mobile, Baldwin County communities, and nearby coastal areas.
