Early Morning Fatal Crash
An early-morning fatal crash on Interstate 35W near the Lake Lewisville Bridge created a traffic nightmare for motorist trying to enter Dallas County from the Denton area.
Fort Worth News also reports that the crash occurred at about 2:30 a.m. in the Hickory Creek area, a Denton County sheriff's dispatcher said, and southbound traffic stood still until about 7:20 a.m., when it began unwinding.
Northbound traffic was unaffected, according to reports.
At least one person died in the crash that involved multiple vehicles, according to broadcast reports.
At least three other persons were injured and were taken to Dallas area hospitals, according to reports.
KRLD radio reported that numerous drivers parked their cars and shut off their engines, some exchanging cellphones to make calls that they would be late for work.
KTVT Channel 11 reported that the backup extended north to Church Drive. None of the stranded vehicles were able to turn around or find alternate ways past the wreck because there are no access roads in the area, according to reports.
