HOUSTON – Several eastbound lanes of the Katy Freeway are blocked after an 18-wheeler carrying an oversized load hit the Houston Avenue bridge and lost its load.
Houston Police says three lanes are closed right now.
The 18-wheeler was carrying large cylinders and was too tall to pass underneath the bridge.
We are also told the bridge has some structural damage from the truck hitting it. HPD has closed the Houston Avenue bridge in both directions until the incident is resolved.
No one was hurt in the incident.
