DALLAS (CBSNewsTexas.com) - All lanes on Eastbound I-30 are now cleared after a 24-vehicle accident. Six people were transported to hospitals. They are all in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries, according to Dallas Fire-Rescue.

I-30 lanes were closed for over three hours as first responders evaluated people and cleared the scene. Initially, the Dallas Sheriff's Office blamed slick roads, after a night of powerful storms, as the cause of the pileup.
