"DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Both directions of the LBJ Freeway were shut down early Tuesday afternoon due to a dump truck crash between Webb Chapel Road and Marsh Lane. The incident happened at about 10:30 a.m. when the truck appeared to have jumped over the center concrete median.
Chopper 11 was live over the scene and spotted at least two other vehicles involved in the crash, one on each side of the highway. Both of those cars were pinned underneath each end of the dump truck.
According to Jason Evans with Dallas Fire-Rescue, there has been one confirmed death as a result of this incident. Another individual had to be transported away from the scene after being extricated from their car, but did not have life threatening injuries. Authorities have not yet said what may have caused the dump truck to jump over the median and into oncoming traffic.
The area where the crash took place is part of the LBJ Express Project, where road construction has already been impacting the regular flow of traffic heading east and west through north Dallas."
