HOUSTON — A crash involving an 18-wheeler is causing major problems on the North Freeway near the Katy Freeway close to downtown Houston Thursday morning.
According to Houston Transtar, the crash happened just before 6 a.m. in the northbound lanes. The crash involved a 40-foot trailer and two other vehicles were reportedly also involved.
While the crash has cleared, the damage was already done causing a backup heading through downtown.
KHOU 11 traffic expert Jennifer Reyna said drivers coming from the southeast or east side can take the 610 Loop to avoid the congestion. Delays will continue since the affected lanes will stay closed for now.
Other drivers are urged to avoid downtown entirely.
