No injuries have been reported from the wreck, and Houston Police Department officials tell KPRC 2 that it is basically a matter of cleaning up the oil spill and the pipes that were strung across the road.

All impacted lanes were officially reopened around 6:15 p.m. Saturday evening.

This is a developing story, and we’ll update this article once we have more information.
