Two Injured in Tanker Truck Accident on I-45 at Gulf Bank in Houston, TX

It appears that the incident involved a U-Haul truck that was going northbound and approaching a tanker truck. It’s unclear at this time, but authorities suggested the tanker was either moving slowly, slowing down, or “broken down” along I-45 when the U-Haul truck crashed into it.

As a result of the collision, a man and a woman in the U-Haul were both taken to an area hospital. It did not appear they were in life-threatening conditions. It’s unclear if there were any other injuries resulting from the crash. Investigations into the factors leading up to the wreck are ongoing.
