All lanes of Interstate 30 in Royse City were closed for several hours after a semi-truck overturned, according to Royse City police. The single-vehicle crash prompted a full closure of the highway, with the roadway still shut down as of about 5:30 a.m., police said.

No information on injuries has been released, and it is not yet known how many people, if any, were aboard the semi-truck at the time it overturned. Only one vehicle was reported to be involved in the incident.

Royse City Police worked the scene as crews addressed the overturned truck and worked to reopen the interstate to traffic. Drivers in the area faced delays while all lanes remained shut, though officials have not said when the highway was expected to fully reopen.

The crash's exact time and cause have not been disclosed by authorities. No additional details about what led to the truck overturning have been made public.
