PRAIRIEVILLE, LOUISIANA (BNO NEWS) — Five people were killed and eight others were critically injured after a crash on Interstate 10 near Baton Rouge, Louisiana on Saturday, officials said.

The accident happened around noon local time when a mini van apparently blew a tire and struck a large box truck, according to Russell Graham, a spokesman for the Louisiana State Police. The mini van, which was carrying thirteen people, then crossed the center median and overturned at least one time.

All the thirteen people aboard the mini van were ejected from the vehicle, Graham said, saying only the driver was believed to have been wearing a seat belt.

The driver of the box truck was not injured in the accident.
