Overview
- A collision between a train and an 18-wheeler on Highway 90 near Easton Avenue caused a diesel spill that closed multiple intersections for several hours.
- Fort Bend County hazmat teams contained the fuel leak and crews inspected the train's cargo, concluding it posed no public threat.
- Sugar Land Police Department said no occupants of the train or truck reported any major injuries.
- Officials warned that Highway 90 and nearby streets including Easton Avenue, Highway 6, Stadium Drive, University Boulevard and Main Street remain affected and urged drivers to use alternate routes with no set timeline for full reopening.
