PALMER, Texas - A crash between an 18-wheeler and a pickup truck caused traffic problems on I-45 in Ellis County Sunday morning.
The crash happened just before 5 a.m., involving an 18-wheeler and pickup truck near the city of Palmer.
The 18-wheeler, which was hauling plastic soda bottles, turned on its side on an overpass.
That driver was not hurt.
Two people in the pickup truck were taken to a local hospital. Their conditions were not known.
The southbound lanes were closed for a time, and a TxDOT structural engineer is checking the overpass to make sure it wasn’t damaged.
