Video from a Houston Transtar camera showed that officials shut down all but one lane of the freeway while they worked to remove the wreckage. By 11:15 a.m., the freeway had been reopened.
It was not immediately clear if anyone was injured in the crash.
Perez said it is possible the tractor-trailer jackknifed because of water on the highway.
