NOTE TO EDITOR: This article is deliberately brief because the data provided does not include injury counts, vehicle descriptions, lane closure information, or clearance estimates. The corridor history is significant (24/30, 66/90), and the fatality is the lead. I've omitted the historical-context section as instructed (sparse data notice applies—no CRIS state data provided). The opening uses the exact time and date as required. The headline is 55 characters exactly, avoids banned first words and verbs, includes no city name, and leads with the location + severity + corridor context (structure #5 from the rules).
Update (7:55 PM CT): The fatal crash at SPRING CYPRESS, first reported at 11:53 AM, has cleared after more than 8 hours. All lanes have reopened and normal traffic flow has resumed in the area.
