All lanes of Interstate 20 were shut down for about 2 miles just east of the Fort Worth border through Saturday morning after a truck carrying 3,000 gallons of propane caught fire, police said.

The Texas Department of Tranportation posted on Twitter about 10:20 a.m. Saturday that the wreckage had been cleared and all lanes were open at I-20 and Bowman Springs Road.

The two-vehicle crash near Bowman Springs Road happened about 6:15 a.m. Friday. The truck and a car collided in westbound lanes between Green Oaks Boulevard and East Loop 820. A third vehicle then struck one of the disabled vehicles, police reported. No serious injuries were reported.
