SALADO, Texas (AP) —
An interstate in Central Texas has fully reopened after a deadly accident involving a tractor-trailer that slammed into a bridge beam in a construction zone.
The Texas Department of Transportation says all lanes of Interstate 35 at Salado (suh-LAY'-doh), about 40 miles north of Austin, were open Friday.
TxDOT spokesman David Glessner says engineers are inspecting damage to the highway bridge, which had been under construction.
The driver of pickup truck was killed and three other people were hurt when the oversized 18-wheeler hit and brought down a construction beam.
Glessner says three signs were posted leading up to the bridge indicating clearance of 13 feet, 6 inches. Investigators believe the truck or its cargo was too tall to pass under the bridge.
