Truck explosion closes I-35E
A tanker truck hauling gasoline crashed and exploded Thursday afternoon on Interstate 35E in Lake Dallas, killing the driver and shutting down the highway in both directions between Lewisville and Denton.
Two men inside the truck were burned in the accident, and one of them later died.
Texas state troopers said the truck was northbound shortly before 2 p.m. when the driver abruptly hit the brakes and lost control, clipping a car and striking a median barrier. The truck overturned across the median and burst into flames.
A witness said the driver was engulfed in flames when he jumped out of the truck.
