TxDOT said it was notified about the crash around 2:30 p.m. and is determining whether a hazmat team is needed.

The Dallas County Sheriff's Office said the wreck involved only the truck and that no one was hurt. Oil and other fluids spilled across the freeway near Beckley Avenue, and crews expect cleanup to take several hours before the road can reopen.

Authorities are urging motorists to avoid the area.
