Officials determined rainy weather played a role in the crash that left an 18-wheeler hanging from a bridge overnight in Dallas.
The Dallas County Sheriff’s Office sent out a traffic alert about 11:45 p.m. Monday saying deputies were investigating a crash in the area of Interstate 345 and Interstate 45 on the edge of downtown.
Texas Department of Transportation cameras showed an Amazon-branded tractor trailer dangling from a guardrail into early Tuesday.
Deputies determined the driver lost control, causing the crash, but ultimately deemed it a weather-related incident, a sheriff’s office spokesperson said. The driver was uninjured.
The crash caused damage to the bridge wall that will be repaired by TxDOT, the sheriff’s office said.
