All westbound lanes of the 610 North Loop at Ella in northwest Houston are closed after an overturned box truck caught fire during the morning commute Wednesday. Firefighters worked to extinguish the flames, which were visible from miles away. An ambulance was also spotted at the scene, but it’s unclear if anyone was injured. Other vehicles were hooked up to tow trucks, but their connection to the incident is unknown. The frontage road is not a viable detour as backups stretch to I-45 North Freeway. Consider alternate routes such as Cavalcade or I-10. Stay tuned for updates and real-time traffic data via the ABC13 app to avoid delays.
