HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — The Houston Fire Department is working to clear a single-car fire that caused major backups on US-59 and Bissonnet Road on Wednesday, according to Houston TranStar.<\/p>\n

The fire was reported just after 9 a.m., and traffic cameras showed the northbound lanes were impacted.<\/p>\n

SkyEye13 was over the scene and showed HFD crews working on the vehicle.<\/p>\n

The Houston Police Department said that the fire was caused by a crash. Officials said it was non-fatal, but the drivers’ statuses are unknown.<\/p>\n

It is unclear how long it will take for the lanes to reopen at this time.<\/p>\n

This is one of several traffic delays that happened Wednesday morning. TranStar cameras showed the aftermath following an 18-wheeler fire<\/a> on the East Loop northbound entrance ramp.<\/p>\n
