The northbound lanes of I-35 were closed after a fatal truck accident occurred on August 4.
The accident happened after a truck carrying compressed gas cylinders swerved off of the roadway slamming into a tractor- trailer that was parked on the shoulder. The driver of the tractor-trailer was thrown into a ditch and his feet were pinned by the wheels of the trailer.
This driver was transported to hospital by helicopter with serious injuries. The driver of the other truck was killed instantly in the accident and pronounced dead by emergency officials. Rescue crews worked in the area for over two hours.
