Traffic in Schertz, Texas was snagged yesterday due to a major collision at the intersection of FM 3009 and FM 78. Commuters found themselves at a standstill as the right eastbound lane of FM 78 was blocked off while law enforcement and emergency crews attended the scene. Motorists heading towards Cibolo were advised to use caution and remain patient as the situation was being handled.

The blockage, which caused disruptions in the normal ebb and flow of the daily commute, saw drivers being diverted and local authorities working diligently to manage the scene. The Schertz Police Department took to Facebook to update concerned citizens and travelers impacted by the collision. The post indicated that the accident occurred on February 7th, but the exact time of the incident was not provided.

In a speedy response commensurate with the urgency of the issue, the authorities managed to clear the collision and fully reopened all lanes as of 2:30 p.m. Drivers were able to resume their journeys, and the congestion began to ease up, returning the area to its usual pace. There were no immediate reports of injuries or the cause of the accident.
