"TIKI ISLAND — One person was killed in a two-car, rollover wreck that closed the southbound main lanes of Interstate 45 on Thursday afternoon, authorities said.
Police, firefighters and a medical crew were called shortly before 4 p.m. to the southbound lanes just south of Exit 5. That area is south of Bayou Vista and just north of Tiki Island.
One person died from the wreck, Maj. Ray Tuttoilmondo, a Galveston County Sheriff’s Office spokesman, said.
Authorities at the scene weren’t immediately available for comment. The Department of Public Safety office in Texas City confirmed the wreck involved two cars and that troopers were handling the investigation.
The overturned car came to rest in the inside emergency lane. The second car believed to be involved stopped in the frontage road entrance ramp south of the overturned car.
Authorities routed traffic off the I-45 main lanes onto the frontage road at Exit 5. The freeway was reopened at 7:30 p.m.
Further details weren’t immediately available. "
