The department posted an update at 8:30 a.m. that the interstate had reopened, but warned that roadways would still be congested as traffic resumes. Police asked drivers to be patient and allow for extra commute time.

The majority of 911 services in Hays County went out Thursday evening because of a line cut, according to the sheriff’s office, but Buda Police said that did not affect the response time to the crash Friday morning. Buda Police Community Affairs Officer, Freddy Erdman, said 911 being down is not affecting calls for assistance or receiving services.
