N. Texas severe weather: Wind blows over 18-wheelers, tennis ball-size hail reported
Multiple first responders were called to a massive car wreck involving multiple 18-wheelers on Interstate 35 on Johnson Road near Waxahachie Monday night.
DALLAS — This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
The North Texas region again experienced several weather watches and warnings as severe weather and hail rolled through the area, just five days after previous storms did the same.
Multiple first responders were called to a massive car wreck involving multiple 18-wheelers on Interstate 35 on Johnson Road near Waxahachie Monday night. Three 18-wheelers are flipped over and the road median has shifted, according to reports from the scene. Emergency responders are using the jaws of life to extract people from at least two of the trucks. The Texas Department of Public Safety is on the scene, along with multiple fire departments.
Other cars look to be pushed over as well. The Italy Police Department said three people were pulled and transported from those three semi-trucks that turned over. All three were transported to the hospital, but their conditions are unknown at this time.
