According to Houston TranStar, the crash was first reported just before 5 a.m. in the westbound lanes at Veterans Memorial Parkway.
The overturned box truck reportedly caused a fuel spill on the roadway.
At least two right lanes were closed for nearly two hours until the westbound lanes fully reopened at 6:44 a.m., according to Houston TranStar. Still, traffic was slow moving in the area just before 7 a.m.
