SPRING, Texas — The Grand Parkway near FM 2920 has reopened Sunday after a big rig crash led to a hazmat spill.
According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, a big rig was traveling westbound on the freeway, in the 9300 block, when the driver fell asleep behind the wheel and struck a guardrail between FM 2920 and Champion Forest.
After hitting the guardrail, the big rig then struck a retention wire and crossed into oncoming traffic in the eastbound lanes.
Another driver saw the big rig heading right towards her and swerved to avoid a collision. She hit a retention wall, but luckily she was not injured. Though, she was taken into custody on suspicion of DWI.
The big rig finally came to a stop, but not before spilling a quarter tank of diesel on the freeway, according to deputies.
The freeway was closed for about two hours so a hazmat team could clean up the spill.
Fortunately, there were no injuries reported.
