According to Houston TranStar, the wreck was reported at 5 a.m. on I-45 North northbound at Parramatta Lane.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said the incident involved a pickup truck and an 18-wheeler. The sheriff also confirmed one person had died.
At one point, TranStar images showed the northbound lanes of the freeway completely shut down just before Cypresswood. As of 8 a.m., some lanes had reopened, but the crash has not cleared.
It's unclear what led up to the crash.
