DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Officials in Dallas had to shut down all but one lane of the westbound LBJ Freeway on Wednesday morning after an 18-wheeler crash. The incident took place shortly after 4:00 a.m. close to the Dallas North Tollway.

The cause of the crash is still under investigation, but it involved the big rig and one other car. Nobody was hurt during this incident.

However, the wreck spilled more than 200 gallons of diesel fuel all over the highway, as the 18-wheeler suffered major damage. Emergency crews arrived on the scene to help clean up the mess. The roadway has been opened to regular traffic once again.
