Houston truck accident attorneys know how dangerous big-rig accidents can be—especially when they occur on a busy highway. A truck carrying hydrochloric acid crashed on highway 105 at Walden Road in Montgomery, Texas this afternoon, causing long delays and traffic backups.
The accident halted traffic in both the East and Westbound lanes. The lanes remained closed for several hours while police and other authorities tended to the accident, and cleanup crews secured the area and made sure there were no leaks before allowing traffic to proceed.
Hydrochloric acid can be a very dangerous substance, and despite the crash, the truck did not leak any of the acid onto the highway. But because hydrochloric acid is so corrosive and can be very hazardous, full precautions had to be taken. The truck did not hit any cars during the course of the incident, and while the truck driver did suffer some injuries as a result of the accident, the extent of his injuries are unknown at this time. Police are still investigating the cause of the crash, but highway 105 was re-opened at about 3 p.m., and traffic was once again moving smoothly.
