Commuters on I-10 East Freeway faced major delays today when an 18-wheeler and a truck collided, causing a shutdown of all eastbound lanes at the San Jacinto River. According to ABC13, the incident was reported at approximately 11:11 a.m. and the resulting traffic tie-up appeared as crews hurried to address the congestion caused by the crash.
Click2Houston showed Houston TranStar cameras catching at least one lane that has since been opened to manage the flow of traffic, attempting to alleviate the area's standstill. Details on what may have initiated the accident or the extent of potential injuries were not immediately available.
