Dallas Truck Accident Shuts down I-35

Posted on Aug 03, 2011

A Dallas truck crash shut down a section of Interstate 35 early Tuesday afternoon. The driver of the truck was killed in the accident, but no other injuries were reported.

The crash happened near the Wintergreen Road exit in DeSoto. The truck was traveling southbound, but ended up crashing into the barrier and crossing into the northbound lanes.

After jackknifing, the truck was turned on its side, spilling dog food and fuel onto the highway. A hazmat crew was called to clean up the scene, which had traffic stopped for miles in both directions, just as rush hour was about to begin.

DeSoto Police and the Dallas Sheriff's Office are investigating the crash, but have not yet determined what caused it. An SUV was also involved in the crash.
