HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A vehicle fire forced the closure of the eastbound lanes of 610 North Loop Friday morning at North Shepherd.

The fire was quickly extinguished, but traffic had stacked up beyond TC Jester.

You'll want to take a route other than 610 this morning if you're headed eastbound.
