HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- An investigation is underway after the Houston Avenue Bridge was hit again on Monday evening, according to TxDOT.

According to the Houston Police Department, the call was dropped at 7:32 p.m. in the 1400 block of the I-10 Katy Freeway, involving an 18-wheeler and a lost load. There are no injuries reported.
