FYI: I-10 Closed Both Directions Near Winnie

[Guest UHCoog14]

From the Associated Press

A deputy says a tanker truck wreck in Southeast Texas has closed Interstate 10 near Hamshire and led to evacuations within a two-mile radius.

A spokesman for the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office says the truck overturned Wednesday morning between Hamshire and Winnie. The area is about 10 miles southwest of Beaumont and about 70 miles east of Houston.

Deputy Rod Carroll had no immediate details on whether anyone has been hurt or what caused the accident.

Carroll also had no information on what the truck was hauling or any leaks, but says hazardous materials crews have been dispatched.

Carroll said drivers should use Highway 90 as an alternate route.

Update: Television station KFDM says the wrecked tanker was carrying ethanol and that I-10 will likely be closed all day.

Ethanol aka moonshine.  No wonder they shut everything down for a 2 mile radius, will need a swat team in those parts to protect that brew.  (in a serious note I hope the driver is okay)

I don't know Hup, every August this board blows-up with SETX predictions of a state championship forth coming.  I think they may be looped year around, Methanol is just a reserve substance for the inventory.  WOS keeps a full barrel in every corner store.  ;D

I believe so. However, sometimes when Jennifer Renya on Ch. 2 gives the traffic report I tend to lose focus on what she is saying. :)
