A vehicle fire blocked at least two westbound lanes of Interstate 635 in Dallas around 5:45 a.m. Wednesday after two vehicles collided and the crash caught fire.
WFAA reported that the Texas Department of Transportation logged the blockage, and a truck cab was engulfed in flames around 7:30 a.m. Officials told the station the collision produced the fire. The cause is under investigation.
The sedan's driver was hospitalized in critical condition. A separate CBS News account, also attributed to Dallas Fire-Rescue, said a person died after a vehicle fire early Thursday morning on I-635.
Those accounts do not match, so the person's condition is not settled in the available reporting. What is clear is the morning traffic hit: at least two westbound lanes were closed while investigators looked into how the crash started.
