All eastbound lanes of I-10 near the East Loop were back open Friday morning after an overturned FedEx truck shut them down for hours.
That reopening matters because the closure tied up a major stretch of the East Freeway for much of the time before Friday, leaving drivers with no eastbound way through the area until the lanes finally cleared.
Ninfa Saavedra reported the reopening, but the cause of the truck overturning was not explained. The scene near I-10 and the East Loop was straightforward on the road and unfinished in the details, with the freeway reopening before any fuller account of what happened reached the public.
For now, the key fact is that eastbound traffic can move again on I-10 near the East Loop. What remains unanswered is the reason the FedEx truck overturned in the first place, and that is the part of the story still missing even after the lanes reopened.
