A semi truck was left hanging by its rear wheels after an accident on a Dallas interstate on Wednesday morning. 

The accident happened on June 5th at around 6 a.m. on southbound US 75 and Interstate 345 near Live Oak Street. 

According to Fox4 News, investigators say the incident involved several vehicles, causing the flatbed semi truck to crash into a guardrail. The force of the impact sent the semi truck crashing al the way through the barrier, leaving it hanging from the overpass by the rear axles. 

The truck driver was hurt in the accident, but the extent of their injuries is unclear. 

Crews used a crane to lower the truck to the ground, and officials say cleanup of the incident could take the rest of the day. 

Rain was likely a factor in the crash. No further information has been released.
