GOLIAD COUNTY, Texas — Firefighters were busy extinguishing an 18-wheeler fire that broke out along Highway 59 near FM 1351 Tuesday afternoon.
The highway was initially closed, but is now open to one single lane, so crews can have optimal time to clear away any lingering debris.
According to a social media post by the Goliad County Sheriff's Office, due to hazardous material, cleanup will take longer than anticipated.
The Sheriff's office will advise residents when the highway is completely reopened, and cleanup has concluded.
At this time, it is unknown what cause the fire or if anyone was injured.
