DALLAS — A motorcycle crash into a Dallas police car caused a major backup on N. Central Expressway, according to the Dallas Police Department.
According to DPD, the crash happened around 8:50 p.m. on Tuesday in the 7400 block of North Central Expressway. A motorcyclist crashed into a marked Dallas police squad car in the southbound lanes and was taken to the hospital in stable condition, police said. DPD said no officers were hurt.
As a result, the Dallas Police Department launched an investigation into the crash, shutting down the southbound lanes of the expressway. That shutdown caused a major backup, putting hundreds of drivers into standstill traffic.
According to a spokesperson with DPD, the highway will not open back up until police wrap up their investigation.
