Dallas North Tollway shut down in North Dallas after multi-vehicle crash

The Dallas North Tollway was shut down in both directions near West Northwest Highway following a multi-vehicle crash involving a semi-truck on Friday, Sept. 25.

Dallas Fire-Rescue said units responded to 911 calls just after 11 a.m. Friday in the southbound lanes of the Dallas North Tollway, the department said. Six vehicles were involved in the crash including the semi.

Paramedics took three people to the hospital, all with non-life-threatening injuries, DFR said. Hazmat crews were on the scene to clean up about 170 gallons of diesel that spilled on the highway, as well as "miscellaneous fluids" that the truck was hauling.

Southbound traffic was forced to exit at Royal Lane and northbound traffic at Northwest Highway.
