Fatal Wrong-Way Crash Shuts Down I-45
11/13/08

TEXAS

A fatal crash involving a sport utility vehicle and an 18-wheeler shut down Interstate 45 in southeast Dallas County on Thursday morning.

The incident happened at about 5:15 when someone driving a Jeep was going the wrong way down the section of the freeway in Wilmer, police said.

The vehicle hit the big rig head-on at I-45 and Pleasant Run Road, they said.

The driver of the Jeep was killed.

The driver of the truck, who said there was simply no time to avoid the crash, was unharmed.

Because of leaked fuel and debris on the road, officials said it would take several hours to clean and re-open the freeway.
