HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Commuters along Highway 290 eastbound should expect major backups due to an 18-wheeler and train crash on Monday morning.
According to TranStar, the collision happened on the Northwest Freeway eastbound feeder near Telge Road.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said the rear of the big rig was hit, adding that there were no reported injuries.
SkyEye flew over the incident at about 6:45 a.m., where the back end of the trailer and the railroad crossing signal could be seen destroyed.
It’s unclear what led to the crash, but Gonzalez said Huffmeister, 1960, and N. Berwick have been shut down in that area as the investigation continues. At about 8:30 a.m., the sheriff said a heavy-duty wrecker had arrived and that the scene would be cleared in about an hour.
