All lanes were closed in both directions on I-10 East and West at Paisano Drive on Wednesday morning, June 25, and all traffic had to exit at the Paisano/Chelsea Street exit, according to a post by the Texas Department of Transportation.
Eastbound lanes on I-10 were opened just before 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, but westbound lanes will remain closed for at least another hour, TxDOT El Paso posted on its social media pages.
TxDOT traffic cameras appear to show a semitruck in the median of the interstate.
Drivers should find an alternate route and expect delays. There is no clearing time for the crash.

Flood-prone areas, such as Paisano and Executive Center Boulevard, were also experiencing water on the roadways.
