Interstate 30 was closed in East Dallas early Wednesday after an 18-wheeler crashed into a power pole, sending utility lines down across the freeway.
The crash happened before 4 a.m. along I-30 at the St. Francis Avenue exit, near the split with U.S. 80.

A hazardous materials crew was also cleaning up a fuel spill.
