ROAD CLOSED DUE TO 18-WHEELER ROLLOVER

  

A portion of FM 109 has been closed for most of the day due to an 18-wheeler rollover that occurred this morning. 

According to DPS Sergeant Stephen Woodard, the accident occurred around 9:30am today (Monday) on FM 109 between FM 2502 and Highway 159 in Austin County near Bleiblerville.

A grain truck was driving in that area when it struck a guardrail and rolled over into the nearby ditch. 

No injuries were reported.

Originally, the entire roadway was closed off.  However, as of 4pm this (Monday) afternoon, the roadway has been re-opened to one lane.

The Texas Department of Transportation continues to work to clear the scene.

Drivers are asked to please use caution if you have to drive through that area.  If possible, motorists are asked to choose an alternate route.
