I-610 North Loop ramp at I-45 reopens nearly 7 hours after overturned 18-wheeler lost load
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- An overturned 18-wheeler's lost load caused major delays for Houston drivers on Friday morning.
According to Houston Transtar, the crash was first reported on the I-610 North Loop westbound at the I-45 North Freeway at 5:10 a.m.
SkyEye flew over the scene, where broken glass and debris covered the freeway. It appeared the 18-wheeler was carrying a load of windows.
The right lane and exit ramp were closed for hours as crews worked to upright the 18-wheeler and clean up the mess. The freeway reopened at 11:52 a.m., according to Houston Transtar.
At one point, backups stretched over five miles.
It's unclear what led up to the crash or if any injuries were reported.
