HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Traffic is slow for drivers on the I-69 Eastex Freeway on Friday morning after a deadly crash involving a heavy truck left the freeway shut down for hours near Bush Intercontinental Airport.
Houston Transtar first reported the crash just after 5 a.m. in the northbound lanes before FM-525/Aldine Bender Road.
All northbound lanes have been closed since, causing major delays for drivers on their morning commute.
SkyEye flew over the scene, where a white sedan appeared to be T-boned by a large truck. Authorities confirmed that at least one person died in the crash.
Drivers can take Homestead or the Hardy Toll Road as an alternate route.
