CYPRESS, Texas (KTRK) -- Drivers can expect delays along U.S. 290 after a crash involving an H-E-B 18-wheeler and RV caused all the eastbound main lanes to close.

Houston TranStar verified the accident Saturday at 7:26 a.m. on the eastbound lanes of U.S. 290 near SH-99 Grand Parkway.

Katy Hockley Road or FM 2920 to Mueschke can be taken as alternate routes.

An H-E-B 18-wheeler, that was not carrying food, clipped an RV from behind and caught on fire, according to the RV driver.

Two people and their two dogs were inside the RV, on their way to the Lone Star Rally in Galveston.

The RV was pulling a trailer with a Polaris Slingshot inside, according to police.

No injuries were reported. It is unclear when the roads will reopen.
