    All main lanes of westbound Katy Freeway were shut about 9:20 a.m. Wednesday when a fuel tanker truck caught fire near Park Ten.

    A fuel truck fire Wednesday morning snarled portions of Interstate 10 in west Houston.

    The fire erupted about 9:20 a.m. on the outbound Katy Freeway near Park Ten, according to Houston TranStar.

    No information was available about possible injuries or what sparked the flames.

    The tanker truck appeared to be pulled to the shoulder, but officials blocked all westbound lanes while crews cleared the scene. It was not known when the lanes would reopen.#

    Looks like a wheel or brake issue and luckily the fire wasn't "fueled." That could have been bad!
