In the early hours of Sunday morning, a major traffic accident involving multiple vehicles caused all northbound lanes of I-35 just south of Georgetown, Texas, to shut down. The incident, which unfolded near Westinghouse Road, was significant enough for the Round Rock Police Department to offer assistance to Georgetown police as they navigated through the chaotic scene. It was reported at 3:10 a.m. that officers were on-site.
Following the crash, traffic was completely diverted, compelling drivers to look for alternative routes around the clogged highway. Details regarding the number of potential injuries sustained in the collision were scarce. "It was a major vehicle crash" was the only description offered by the Georgetown Police Department, as noted by CBS Austin.
Sometime after the initial chaos, the roadway was reopened to the public, suggesting clearance of the wreckage and a return to the expected flow of holiday traffic. The stretch previously ensnared by the accident was once again passable.
While the Round Rock Police Department ceased their assistance, their counterparts in Georgetown continued their diligent work in the aftermath of the accident. They shouldered the task of restoring order to an otherwise ordinary Sunday morning CBS Austin reported. No recent updates have followed from the Round Rock Police following their initial involvement, as confirmed by their X feed, as they navigated away from the incident, completing their part in a collective effort towards resolution.
