Report body
A section of Interstate 20 in Texas has been closed following a fatal crash, according to WFAA Traffic. The interstate shutdown prompted authorities to divert vehicles onto the adjacent service road while crews work at the scene.
Details about the number of people killed, how many vehicles were involved, or the circumstances leading to the crash have not yet been released. It is also unclear how long the closure will remain in effect, as crews continue operations along the affected stretch of highway.
Motorists traveling through the area should expect delays and are being routed around the closed section via the service road until the interstate reopens. No information on injuries beyond the reported fatality has been disclosed at this time.
This report will be updated as officials release more information about the crash, including details on the cause, those involved, and when the interstate is expected to fully reopen.
