One fatality occurred at the scene of a Houston truck accident when a  22 year old driver of a black Pontiac vehicle veered out of his lane, hitting a semi-tractor trailer on the U.S. 59 Southwest Freeway just under the beltway early Thursday morning, shutting all southbound mainlanes for over 5 hours. The collision caused  the 18-wheeler truck to tip over on its side striking some plastic barrels afterward. The cab of the truck appeared to separate from the trailer, which rolled over and lost a load of dry food, police said.
