Overturned semitrailer closes Northwest Loop 820 in Fort Worth in both directions
Police have closed Northwest Loop 820 in both directions near Quebec Street and Navajo Trail in Fort Worth because of a wrecked semitrailer truck.
The semitrailer was eastbound when about 9 a.m. a tire possibly blew out, causing the vehicle to go off the road and crash through the concrete barrier for westbound traffic, according to a Fort Worth police spokesperson.
No major injuries were reported, police said.
The person reporting the crash said the 18-wheeler flipped to the opposite side of the freeway and that fuel had spilled, according to a police record.
The Texas Department of Transportation advised drivers to seek alternate routes. TxDOT and police did not give an estimated time of when the freeway may reopen to traffic.
