NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – A motorcyclist, who flipped over a guardrail on Interstate 310 Wednesday afternoon, was pulled from the marsh alive and conscious, the Louisiana State Police said. The accident happened around 1 p.m. on I-310 near the I-10 split, just west of New Orleans. Trooper Melissa Matey said the motorcyclist was riding a 3-wheel cycle when it had a mechanical issue which caused him to crash into the side of the interstate and fall about 40-feet into a swamp.  WGNO News captured exclusive video from the interstate of the rescue.  A Louisiana DOTD traffic camera was also able to show the rescue.  Click on the video button below to see more of the rescue and comments from Trooper Matey.

A witness told WGNO that Seawright flipped multiple times after hitting the guardrail. During the rescue, the left lanes of I-310 in both directs were blocked.
