18-wheeler tips over in Dallas, causing traffic delays on I-35E and I-635
DALLAS – An 18-wheeler was partially hanging off an overpass in northwest Dallas Wednesday morning, which caused traffic to be backed up for several miles.
The 18-wheeler tipped on its side on the ramp connecting the westbound lanes of I-635 to southbound I-35E. Debris from the accident fell onto the northbound lanes of I-35E.
The connector ramp was closed, and multiple lanes on westbound I-635 and northbound I-35E were blocked. Commuters experienced delays of up to an hour.
An inspector was heading to the scene to determine what repairs were necessary for the bridge to reopen. The connector ramp reopened to traffic at 10:30 a.m.
