The wreck happened on I-10 westbound near Taylor Street just before 5am. Authorities shut down all westbound lanes of the Katy Freeway between I-45 and Houston Avenue, as well as the North Freeway ramp to I-10. It reopened more than four hours later.
At least two drivers of big rigs lost control and slammed into concrete barriers. One driver told us he believed it was a chain reaction wreck behind him after he initially lost control on the wet roadways.
After removing the vehicles, HazMat had to properly clean up a fuel and hydraulic fluid leak from one of those trucks.
Right now, there's no word on whether or not the drivers were injured in the accident or if the slick roads played a role.
More rain is expected tomorrow morning, so authorities urge caution while on the roadways.
