I-10 shut down

Jefferson County Sheriff Zena Stephens’ office issued a traffic alert on May 24 just before 4 p.m., advising an interstate shutdown heading toward Houston.

According to information from the JCSO, I-10 westbound between Hamshire Road and Highway 365 was shut down due to an overturning 18-wheeler.

No injuries were reported but JSCO advised the interstate would be “shut down for at least several hours.”

Traffic was being diverted to Highway 365.
