SUGAR LAND, Texas — The Southwest Freeway has reopened in Sugar Land after a multi-vehicle crash completely closed the roadway for several hours.
The city of Sugar Land says crews from the Texas Department of Transportation have treated the roadway for ice.
However, they still advise avoiding traveling through the area and for motorists to delay their morning commute.
The crash happened in the southbound lanes near Highway 90 and may have been caused by ice.
Sugar Land Police posted about the 12-car pileup. So far, we don't know of any injuries in the accident.
This is the second major multi-vehicle wreck in the Houston-area Thursday night. The other was on the Westpark Tollway outbound at FM 1464. As many as 10 vehicles were involved in that one.
We've seen icy conditions all over the roads following rain and then our freezing temperatures. You can see a full list of icy roads here.
