Overturned 18-wheeler loaded with Amazon packages shuts down I-35 after flash floods

E.Wilson46 min ago

An overturned 18-wheeler caused all lanes of I-35E just north of I-635 to close this morning.

A semi-truck filled with 24,000 pounds of Amazon packages flipped on its side around 3 a.m. Sunday night, police said. All lanes remain closed as crews work to clear the highway.

Flash floods and severe rain across the Dallas-Fort Worth area have caused several crashes throughout the metroplex.

Traffic reporter Chip Waggoner said the clean-up is complex. Crews are removing the contents of the trailer, separating the rig from the trailer, and clearing a sedan involved in the crash.

Police do not expect the highway to reopen for the next couple of hours.

No injuries have been reported.
