The cleanup from a tractor-trailer crash and fire took hours Wednesday, reducing traffic along northbound Interstate 35E to one lane as it moved through Lewisville.
The truck was in the northbound lanes of I-35E Wednesday morning when Lewisville Police said it crashed into the retaining wall near the Garden Ridge exit at about 7:30 a.m.
The truck, which police said was hauling home goods, caught fire when the gas tank ruptured.
Police said the truck was the only vehicle involved in the crash and that the driver was able to escape without injury.
