Stretch of SH 130 Closed After 18-Wheeler Rolls Over

Police surmise the rain-soaked roadways may have contributed to the crash, urge motorists to find alternate routes.

PFLUGERVILLE, TX -- A portion of SH 130 has been shut down Thursday morning following the rollover of a big rig, police said.

Pflugerville Police Department officials have closed off access to SH 130 at Pflugerville Parkway northbound after the 18-wheeler turned over. It was unclear why the truck rolled over shortly after 11 a.m. Thursday morning, but police surmised it was due to the slick, rain-soaked streets.

"Please use caution while driving in the rain," police said through social media. "Make sure to use your headlights and driver at slower speeds while maintaining more distance between vehicles."
