Big rig accident snarls traffic on East Loop SB at 225

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- A big rig accident has snarled traffic on the East Loop southbound at Highway 225 this morning.

Some fuel has spilled from the truck.

The entrance ramp is now shutdown to alleviate traffic around the accident that are still caught on the entrance ramp.

Emergency crews are on the scene.

The southbound East Loop is likely to be most affected this morning with mandatory exiting off. You can only go westbound on 225.

The best alternate route at this time is to make your way to the Beltway or work your way around 225 to get to Highway 3 and then circle around to 225.
