DALLAS — Authorities say four people have died in a fiery crash on a Dallas overpass after their vehicle became entangled with a tractor-trailer carrying lumber.
Dallas County sheriff’s office spokesman Raul Reyna said authorities are still investigating what caused the crash early Monday morning. He said two adults, including a pregnant woman, and two children died in the vehicle that became entangled with the tractor-trailer. He says the driver of the tractor-trailer was unharmed.
Reyna says that when the vehicles became entangled, the gas tanks on the tractor-trailer ruptured, causing the large fire. Burning lumber fell from the overpass onto the ground below.
The accident happened on the bridge from westbound Interstate 20 to southbound Interstate 35.
