Tanker truck crashes and explodes, shutting down Dallas North Tollway
A tanker truck crash and the resulting fire has left the Dallas North Tollway ramps to eastbound President George Bush Turnpike closed for an as of yet undetermined amount of time.
Shortly after midnight, a semi-truck pulling a trailer loaded with flammable liquid turned over and crashed after it struck a concrete barrier on the eastbound ramp to the President George Bush Turnpike.
The crash caused a major explosion, with the flammable liquid bursting into flames.
Dallas Fire Rescue responders found the driver of the semi-truck dead inside the vehicle.
Because the damage caused by the fire was so severe, investigators have been unable to determine the identity of the driver or the name of the company he was working for.
