Posted on Jan 30, 2010

Heavy overnight rain in the Houston area contributed to about a dozen auto accidents around the city on or near Friday January 29, 2010:

  • The first accident happened when a tractor trailer truck traveling west on I-10 slid under the U.S. Highway 59 bridge before jackknifing into a guardrail.  As a result of the crash, the guardrail was torn and the 18-wheeler seriously damaged.  The driver of the truck was not hurt in the accident.
  • Another car spun out on South Freeway State Highway 288 near the 610 South Loop exit, and all northbound lanes of the South Freeway had to be closed while the accident was investigated by the Houston Fire Department and the Houston Police Department.
  • Traffic on the 610 North Loop was delayed when two vehicles collided.
  • When three vehicles crashed in the eastbound lanes of Northwest Freeway U.S. Highway 290 near the Pinemont Drive exit, one lane was blocked until just before 6am.
  • One lane of traffic was blocked on the westbound side of the Northwest Freeway when two vehicles crashed near the 610 West Loop exit.  That lane was reopened just after 6:15am.
  • An accident on the Katy Freeway near the T.C. Jester Boulevard exit resulted in one vehicle being moved to the shoulder lane.
  • Two main lanes and one shoulder lane were blocked on the northbound Southwest Freeway near the Gessner Road exit by a tractor trailer accident.  The 18-wheeler remained on the road until about 4:30 in the morning.
  • Lanes on the westbound South Sam Houston Tollway near Almeda Road were blocked by a single vehicle accident until about 6am.
  •  One eastbound lane of the South Sam Houston Tollway was blocked near the South Post Oak Road exit because of a single vehicle crash until about 6:15am.
