An 18-wheeler spilled pallets, oil and honey buns Sunday morning as it overturned on Interstate 30 and its trailer went over a bridge, officials said.
The crash was reported around 6 a.m. Sunday and closed westbound lanes of Interstate 30 at Interstate 345, according to the Dallas County Sheriff’s office.
An 18-wheeler on the highway collided with a wall, sending its trailer over a bridge onto the ground below, according to deputies and the Texas Department of Transportation.
All lanes of east- and westbound I-30 already were closed this weekend between the I-35E and I-45/U.S. 75 interchanges, as part of the I-30 Canyon corridor improvement project. Closures are expected to continue through Monday at 5 a.m.
