Just after 7 a.m., the Fort Bend County Precinct 1 Constable's Office shared on social media that the incident happened at the FM 359 and FM 723 intersection, which was expected to be closed for hours. As of 12:30 p.m., the roadway was reopened.
SkyEye flew over the scene, where at least two vehicles were burned and had heavy damage.
The crash happened just north of Foster High School and Briscoe Jr. High. The constable's office said schools would experience significant delays, and Lamar Consolidated ISD was made aware.
The district sent ABC13 the following statement:
"We are aware of the traffic accident that occurred near Foster High School this morning. At this time, we do not have any information confirming that the individuals involved are connected to the Lamar CISD school community.
Due to road closures in the area, arrival times were delayed for some school buses and student drivers at Foster High School, Briscoe Junior High, and Wertheimer Middle School. However, all campuses are now operating as normal, and the school day is proceeding as usual."
Officials said no students from the nearby schools were involved in this crash, though it's still under investigation.
It's unclear what led to the fiery incident.
