Rush hour chaos ensued this morning after an 18-wheeler tipped over on Interstate 10, bringing eastbound traffic to a grinding halt near Kerrville. The Texas Department of Transportation confirmed the incident, which took place near mile marker 512 and led to a total shutdown of the eastbound lanes.

While the westbound lanes remain unscathed by the turmoil, eastbound drivers have been advised to expect major delays. According to Fox San Antonio, TxDOT officials were on the scene to manage the aftermath of the early morning accident, and detours, are currently in effect.

The truck rollover caused no known injuries, but the consequences for traffic flow were immediate and severe. Cleanup crews and emergency personnel have been dispatched to handle the wreckage and to facilitate a smooth reopening of the roadway.

Authorities are still investigating the cause of the accident, meanwhile, they urge travelers to seek alternate routes to bypass the eastbound gridlock. Updates on the progress of the cleanup operation and expected time for lane reopening will be shared as they become available. Motorists in the region should stay informed via local news outlets or highway advisory radio broadcasts.
