Overview
- Houston traffic monitors reported a heavy-truck crash with a hazardous-materials spill that closed the eastbound I-610 South Loop near Telephone Road and required hazmat teams to respond.
- An 18-wheeler crash shut all westbound lanes of Highway 225 at Richey Street and left a damaged trailer on the roadway while crews worked to tow it off and clear spilled material.
- Cleanup and towing operations were ongoing the morning after the Highway 225 crash, with crews keeping multiple lanes blocked and traffic moving slowly through a single open lane in parts of the corridor.
- Officials have not released confirmed causes or injury counts for either incident, and investigators and multi-agency response teams remain on scene collecting information.
- Houston TranStar provided the lane-closure updates used by local broadcasters, and ABC13’s SkyEye13 provided aerial imagery and live traffic alerts to help drivers find alternate routes.
