According to the TxDOT traffic information provided, the collision was reported at approximately 7:00 a.m. The lane diagram shows the left shoulder and two left travel lanes closed, while the remaining northbound lanes remained open.

Two Left Lanes Closed After SH 161 Crash at I-635
The collision affected northbound traffic on SH 161 near the I-635 interchange during the Tuesday morning commute.
With two travel lanes and the left shoulder blocked, drivers approaching the crash could encounter significant slowing, emergency vehicles, congestion, and motorists merging into the remaining open lanes.
Because information about the accident remains preliminary, it would be premature to attribute the wreck to speeding, distracted driving, following too closely, an unsafe lane change, or another specific cause.
