CLEVELAND, Texas (KTRK) -- The truck and trailer of an Amazon 18-wheeler came apart at US-59 southbound, forcing only one lane open, according to authorities.

It happened just south of the 105 Loop near the Cleveland/Splendora exit.

Cleveland police said the driver may have been tired when the accident occurred, but they were still investigating.

No injuries were reported.
