Rolled Over Propane Truck Slows North And Southbound Traffic On Highway 59

An overturned propane tanker has shut down traffic both north and south bound on US 59, the southwest freeway, just south of Rosenberg.

The Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office says traffic is being diverted.

A spokesperson for the Texas Department of Transportation said hazmat crews are en route to the scene.
