An 18-wheeler rollover crash shut down westbound lanes of Highway 99 near the San Jacinto River bridge in Montgomery County early Monday morning. According to ABC13 and Houston TranStar, the crash was reported just after 2 a.m. on SH-99 Lanier/Grand Parkway westbound near the San Jacinto River bridge. All westbound lanes were closed for several hours before reopening around 9:05 a.m. Drivers were urged to avoid the area between Riley Fuzzel Road and FM 1314 while crews worked to clear the overturned truck. KHOU reported the crash involved an 18-wheeler and a fuel spill, with all main lanes and shoulders impacted during the response. 18-wheeler rollover crashes require a thorough investigation, especially when fuel spills or hazardous cargo concerns are involved. A Texas truck accident lawyer can review whether driver fatigue, distraction, unsafe speed, cargo shifting, brake failure, tire failure, tanker or trailer maintenance issues, roadway conditions, or trucking company safety practices contributed to the crash. Truck accident evidence can disappear quickly. Black box data, driver logs, inspection records, maintenance records, dashcam footage, cargo records, fuel spill cleanup reports, roadway debris, crash scene photos, witness statements, police reports, and crash reconstruction evidence may all be critical to determining what happened and who may be responsible. If you or your loved one was injured in a Montgomery County 18-wheeler accident, Grand Parkway rollover crash, SH-99 truck wreck, or Texas commercial vehicle crash involving a fuel spill, you may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, property damage, and other damages.
