TEXAS — An accident on Interstate 10 has caused major traffic backups Thursday morning in Beaumont, according to the Texas Department of Transportation.
Traffic reports show heavy congestion in the westbound lanes of I-10 stretching from College Street to just past the U.S. 69 southbound exit ramp following the crash.
Officials said the accident was reported just west of the U.S. 69 exit. The added congestion is also affecting drivers attempting to access the interstate from Washington Boulevard, where heavy traffic was also reported near the eastbound I-10 intersection.
