The post warns commuters to be prepared for delays and to find an alternate route.
Traffic will be redirected from FM 117 in Batesville to Uvalde and from HWY 83/57 at La Pryor to Uvalde.
This is the second deadly accident to happen along HWY 57 this week.
Early yesterday morning, the Uvalde County Constable’s Precinct 6 Office reported several people were killed in a major vehicle accident due to icy road conditions.
It is unclear whether Wednesday morning’s crash was due to weather.
