PLANO, Texas — All southbound lanes from Spring Creek to Park Boulevard on US 75 have reopened following a serious crash Monday afternoon, the Plano Police Department said.
According to Plano PD, the crash happened around 1 p.m. on southbound US 75 at Parker Road and a “large amount of debris” scattered everywhere, including watermelons.
Crews could be seen cleaning up the area as debris had spread across the lanes.
Plano police said the truck was being driven by a 67-year-old man. The truck was loaded with watermelons and headed back to Oklahoma when the front tire blew out and the driver overcorrected and caused the truck to crash into the median and then a light pole before rolling over.
The truck, police said, came to a stop in a business parking lot. The driver was injured but is expected to survive. A 74-year-old passenger who was also in the truck was not injured.
No other details about the crash were released.
