An overturned 18-wheeler is backing up traffic Friday afternoon on parts of Interstate 20 in Dallas, officials said.

Three eastbound lanes of I-20 between Bonnie View Road and J.J. Lemmon have been closed due to the accident. Only the right lane is open for traffic, the Dallas County Sheriff’s Department said shortly before noon on X.

No injuries have been reported, and no other vehicles were involved in the crash. Officials said it will take several hours to move the 18-wheeler and its contents out of the road.
