Hazmat spill on Beltway 8 at Briar Hill closes toll lanes

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- An 18-wheeler with a ruptured fuel tank has closed toll lanes on Beltway 8 southbound at Briar Hill.

The hazmat spill began early Monday morning and is blocking all four toll lanes.

In the past, this has allowed even non-EZ tag users to use the toll road for free.
