Tractor pulling Mardi Gras float ends up on side on expressway exit

A tractor pulling a Mardi Gras float fell on its side while on the Tchoupitoulas off-ramp from the Pontchartrain Expressway on Tuesday afternoon.

WWL-TV's Lily Cummings went to the scene:

There was no reported injury to the tractor driver. After several minutes, crews were able to clear the tractor and attach a new one to the float and clear the area.
