A semi truck was left dangling partially off of an overpass in Dallas late Monday night.
The accident happened on November 4th at about 11:45 p.m. on an elevated portion of Interstate 345 that connects Interstate 45 to U.S. Highway 75.
According to the Star-Telegram, the semi truck driver lost control in rainy conditions and skidded off the roadway, through a guardrail, and came to a stop hanging partially off of the overpass.Â
No one was hurt, but the incident did force the closure of the interstate for several hours as officials worked to clear the wreckage and investigate the incident.
Officials say that weather was a factor in the accident. No further information has been released.
