Four-vehicle crash ties up I-45 in Montgomery County

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, TX (KTRK) -- Wreckers have just cleared a chain-reaction accident involving two 18-wheelers and two other vehicles in Montgomery County.

The accident happened around 6am on I-45 southbound at Calvary, near Willis.

Amazingly, no one was hurt in this accident.

It started when an 18-wheeler lost control and ended up on its side. Then another truck came by and ran into the overturned 18-wheeler. A pickup truck then crashed before a second semi-truck plowed into the massive wreck.

There was a lot of oil and debris on the roadway. Traffic officers reopened I-45 southbound around 9:20am.

Police say they expect to be on the road another two hours cleaning up.
