Crash snarls traffic on I-10 west at Executive for hours

EL PASO, Texas -- A traffic collision along Interstate 10 westbound at Executive Center Boulevard shut down the highway completely for a couple of hours and then remained with two lanes blocked until about 4 p.m.

Police said the Wednesday afternoon crash occurred around 1:10 p.m. and the traffic backup was to Schuster.

By 3 p.m. police said the right two lanes remained closed and they finally cleared the scene a bit before 4 p.m.; even with all lanes back open, there was a backup to Asarco.

For much of the afternoon police had advised motorists to seek an alternate route through west El Paso.

No further details surrounding the crash were immediately available.
