Houston, TX – Drivers traveling along Houston’s North Loop are facing significant delays today after a disabled 18-wheeler created a traffic hazard on Interstate 610.
According to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, the incident occurred on I-610 North Loop eastbound at Hardy Toll Road, where an 18-wheeler reportedly began backing up on the loop before stalling. The disabled truck is affecting multiple lanes, creating congestion during an already busy travel period.
Authorities say the situation was reported just minutes ago, and traffic backups are already forming in the area. The stalled vehicle’s position has limited traffic flow, forcing drivers to slow down or merge with little notice.
Motorists traveling through Harris County, particularly those commuting between north Houston and areas near Hardy Toll Road, are urged to use caution and allow extra travel time. Drivers may want to consider alternate routes, including surface streets or nearby connectors, until the hazard is cleared.
At this time, officials have not provided an estimated time for when all lanes will fully reopen. No injuries have been reported, and it remains unclear whether a tow truck has arrived on scene.
Traffic conditions on I-610 can change quickly, especially during peak hours. Drivers are encouraged to monitor live traffic apps and follow instructions from law enforcement if approaching the area.
