On Wednesday, one person suffered injuries following a traffic collision on Northeast Loop 820.

As per the initial information, the multi-vehicle accident took place shortly after 7 a.m. on Northeast Loop 820 toll road near Rufe Snow Drive. The early reports revealed that a tanker truck, a trash truck and possibly a third vehicle were involved in the wreck. Officials shut down a Tarrant County highway after the accident triggered a large truck fire on the roadway.

Northeast Loop 820 was temporarily blocked due to the crash in North Richland Hills, but the eastbound lanes were open. A helicopter ambulance airlifted one person who was severely burned to the hospital. It is unknown how long the westbound Northeast Loop 820 would remain shut down. No other details are immediately available.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.
