TxDOT cameras confirm all lanes blocked. Wrecker is on scene but this is going to be a while.

Just passed it going southbound. Looks like a semi was involved. First responders cutting someone out of a car.

This is the third major accident at this exact spot this month. That merge is dangerous.

Google Maps is already showing it red. Took Harry Hines instead, added 20 minutes but at least moving.
