Semi-truck loses load after crashing into Houston Avenue Bridge at I-10

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Several lanes of the I-10 Katy Freeway inbound at Taylor were blocked for hours Thursday morning after a semi-truck crashed into a bridge.

SkyEye flew over the freeway, where delays stretched for miles after a truck hit the Houston Avenue Bridge and lost its load.

This stretch of the freeway has been a trouble spot in the past. Crews did repair work in the same area a few weeks ago.

The crash was reported around 3:15 a.m. It was unclear if there were any injuries.

Two lanes and the shoulder were blocked for hours as crews worked to clean up the debris. The lanes reopened shortly after 7 a.m.
