35W Lanes In FW Back Open After Accident

1 Dies, Another In Hospital

FORT WORTH (AP) ― Southbound lanes of Interstate 35W reopened nearly 12 hours after a man was killed in a fiery wreck involving a tractor-trailer.
Fort Worth Police say one person was killed in the accident late Friday night when a tractor-trailer struck a concrete barrier and caught fire at 35W and Sycamore School Road. It's unclear if the person was a passenger in the tractor-trailer.

The driver of the truck sustained burns and was taken to a Dallas Hospital. A condition was unavailable Saturday morning.

The truck was carrying a road grader, which ended up on the roadway. Fuel also spilled on the roadway.

Crews are trying to clean up the debris while police were detouring traffic to the access road early Saturday.
