I-10 Katy Freeway westbound at Dairy Ashford shut down after crash involving 18-wheeler and car

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A two-vehicle crash involving an 18-wheeler has shut down part of the westbound lanes of I-10 Katy Freeway at Dairy Ashford in west Houston on Wednesday morning.

According to Houston police, the wreck involved a car and the 18-wheeler, which is flipped on its side.

Houston Transtar says the crash was first reported at 5:01 a.m.

More than five hours later, crews opened a couple of lanes, but three right lanes remained closed, TxDOT said on X, formerly Twitter.

In addition to the crash, the truck spilled diesel, requiring cleanup as well.

At last check, the freeway was expected to be closed for multiple hours.

If you still need to take this route, you can take Memorial Drive as an alternate.
