I-35 crash causes 1-hour delays in Central Texas  MySA

A major crash along Interstate 35 north of Texas' capital city has shuttered two lanes and slammed commuters with an hour-long delay during the morning rush hour. The Texas Department of Transportation's Austin District incidents page confirmed a crash at the intersection of I-35 and FM 1825 Southbound in Pflugerville around 6:22 a.m. on Wednesday, September 23. TxDOT incident data confirmed the two middle lanes closed as a result of the crash, while the online traffic database SigAlert noted that the same crash has traffic currently backed up to Old Settlers Boulevard in Round Rock. The crash has spurred stop-and-go traffic and delays up to one hour, per SigAlert. It's not the only significant crash in the capital area during Wednesday morning's commute.

Further north in Georgetown, all northbound lanes of I-35 are closed at Williams Drive after a crash, which TxDOT has classified as urgent in its incidents database. It's unclear how many vehicles were involved in both crashes. MySA has reached out to TxDOT's Austin District, the Travis County Sheriff's Office and Austin-Travis County EMS for more information; we will update this story once we receive a response.
