Around 2pm Thursday an 18 wheeler traveling westbound on I-10 caught fire near the Neches River Bridge following an accident.
Both lanes of traffic had to be shutdown as the driver was airlifted to the hospital with unknown injuries.
The closures backed up traffic on just about every major road in the Golden Triangle for the rest of the day.
An all clear wasn’t given until 8:30pm. As of this post authorities had not released the cause of the accident.
