NORTH TEXAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Several people were injured after two passengers buses on their way to North Texas and a tractor-trailer were involved in a crash on Interstate-35 near Milford, about 50 miles south of Dallas.
According to the Texas Highway Patrol in Waco, traffic had slowed because of construction when the driver of a Megabus ran into the back of the tractor-trailer and pushed the semi into the back of another bus.

Both of the buses were en route to the Dallas-area.
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is investigating the crash.
