The accident leaves a semi-truck dangling over Interstate 35 in Fort Worth in heavy rain

FORT WORTH, Texas – Multiple lanes are closed on westbound Interstate 35 near Everman Parkway in Fort Worth, Texas, after a tractor-trailer struck the highway guardrail and became stuck over the guardrail.

The crash occurred around 3:30 a.m. CT on Thursday as heavy rain swept the area, which may have contributed to the incident.

First, the semi-truck drove almost vertically over the edge of the overpass. Crews have now moved it to a horizontal position, but the cleanup is expected to take several hours.

Everman Parkway is completely closed and the two right lanes of westbound I-35 are also closed as emergency crews work to clear the scene.
