Fatal Crashes Disrupt Major Highways in Multiple States

Houston's major highways, the US-59 Eastex Freeway and I-45 North Freeway, were shut down Friday morning due to separate crashes, with the Eastex incident being fatal. The Eastex crash occurred after 3 a.m., involving two vehicles, and closed all inbound lanes near the 610 North Loop, while the I-45 crash involved a heavy truck and closed lanes near Greens Road. In Miami-Dade, a fatal crash on I-95 involved a blue Dodge SUV and a black Honda sedan, resulting in one death and two critical injuries, closing northbound lanes near Northwest 119th Street. Meanwhile, a fatal collision on Maryland Route 4 in Prince George's County involved a passenger car and a box truck, leading to one death. Traffic diversions and cleanup are ongoing in all affected areas, with alternate routes suggested for commuters. Both Houston and Miami crashes are under investigation, and authorities are managing traffic diversions to mitigate disruptions.
