HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — An ambulance that caught fire and started leaking fuel diverted traffic on the southbound feeder of the Grand Parkway near I-10/Katy Freeway Tuesday, according to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez

The leaking fuel possibly affected the nearby drainage system, the sheriff tweeted. 

It's unknown what caused the ambulance to catch fire, but the sheriff said there were three people onboard, including one patient. Two were taken to the hospital. 

The feeder road was closed for more than an hour as crews worked to clean up the mess.
