Shortly before 8:23 a.m., crews were dispatched to the scene on the southbound lanes of the I-45 North Freeway near Crosstimbers Street, in the city’s Independence Heights neighborhood.

Officials have not specified the cause of the rollover, but firefighters arrived to find the semi rolled over on the HOV exit lane and at least partially hanging off the overpass.
