TARRANT COUNTY, Texas — The eastbound lanes of Interstate 30 were closed for hours near the Tarrant County and Parker County line after a vehicle struck a freeway sign, the Fort Worth Police Department says.
A little before 11 a.m. Monday, the single-vehicle crash damaged the structure of the freeway sign, causing it the fall over the roadway just before the I-30 and I-20 merge in Fort Worth – the closest exit is Lincrest Drive, authorities told WFAA.
At 7:39 p.m. Monday, the Texas Department of Transportation reported that the eastbound lanes of Interstate 30 had reopened.
At one point, there were reports that the vehicle was on fire. But at this time, there's no word yet on the condition of the driver or what caused the crash.
This is a developing story, we'll update as more information becomes available.
