A five-car accident shut down both sides of the Dallas North Tollway for nearly three hours on Wednesday morning. Thousands of motorists in rush hour traffic spent hours stuck on the tollway.

The chain of events leading to the five accidents began when a Mustang traveling in a northbound lane struck the front end of a truck. The truck then skidded across four lanes of traffic before landing in a median. The truck’s collision with the median forced a concrete block into the southbound lanes of the tollway.

A second truck, which was traveling in the southbound lanes, struck the concrete block.

The first truck was hauling a generator on a trailer. A car, the fourth vehicle involved in the accident, was traveling in the northbound lanes and hit the trailer which was sitting in the path of traffic.  The fifth car to be involved in the accident was a Volkswagen Jetta that also struck the piece of concrete.

Amazingly, no one was seriously injured.

Troopers were warned of a wrong-way driver on the Dallas North Tollway before an accident occurred which injured four, says the Texas Department of Public Safety. Ryan Matthew, 27, was speeding and driving south in the northbound lanes all the way from Frisco to Dallas, say authorities.

The accident took place on Sunday, June 21^st near the Frankford Road exit. Matthew was driving the wrong way on the tollway for nearly seven minutes and ten miles.

Several callers alerted the authorities to Matthew’s out-of-control driving. DPS, however, says they were unable to stop Matthew, even after positioning a police vehicle in front of him. Matthew, says Lonny Haschel with DPS, simply swerved around the trooper’s vehicle and continued driving.

Eventually Matthew crashed into a vehicle, injuring the two 23-year-old women inside. Both women were taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital for treatment.  Matthew has not yet been charged with any crime.
