Authorities were forced to shut down LBJ freeways southbound lanes for hours after a tractor-trailer crushed another vehicle earlier this morning.
One victim died at the scene and the other two members in the wreck were sent to the hospital. Their names and conditions have not been released.
Authorities reopened the freeway about 6 a.m. Authorities are still trying to identify what caused the accident. More details will be released later.
