Corn Spilled Across Highway After Big Rig Crash In Fort Worth
FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) - The southbound lanes of West Loop 820 in Fort Worth were shut down early Monday after a crash that spilled corn across the freeway. The incident happened at about 2:45 a.m. near Westpoint Boulevard, just to the north of Interstate-30.
