Snow/Ice related crash shut down Texas I-30
DALLAS— Don't mention Global Warming to the folks in Texas!!
Snow caused an accident killing one person and closed I-30 for eight hours in the Dallas-Fort Worth area on Sunday.
Five vehicles, including two, "big rigs," wrecked Sunday morning. One of the "rigs" fell onto another vehicle, resulting in the death and closing the I-30 westbound lanes. A "rig" landed on its side blocking all three lanes as the cab hung over the concrete divider onto the shoulder of the eastbound lanes.
A spokesperson said the snowfall which dumped six inches in Collin County was a factor in the collision.
After a week of mild temperatures the storm was a wake up call that winter wasn't finished just yet and many events in the area were moved indoors.
Although more spring like weather should return to the area today there was no mention of global warming by any officials or bystanders.
