Overturned 18-wheeler blocks I-45 northbound lanes near downtown
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- An overturned 18-wheeler on a busy downtown freeway caused some major backups Saturday morning.
It happened in the northbound lanes of I-45 near Hogan and Crockett Streets before 8 a.m.
Nobody was believed to be hurt in the crash, but the big rig was laid across multiple lanes of the freeway.
By 8:15 a.m., traffic delays spread beyond downtown and onto I-69 and 288.
Commuters will need to avoid all of Interstate 45 throughout downtown as crews work to clear the crash.
