‘A lot of dead cattle’ after truck overturns near downtown Fort Worth
FORT WORTH — At least a dozen cattle were killed and traffic around downtown Fort Worth was at a standstill all morning after a cattle truck crashed on northbound U.S. 287 ramp early Wednesday.
Crews worked for much of the day to clear the crash, which occurred about 3:30 a.m. when the truck overturned on a ramp to Interstate 35W, just south of downtown.
Traffic was slow moving on 287, I-35W and Interstate 30 as traffic was rerouted around the crash.
The driver, Jesse Rubio, told WFAA TV that he was heading to Shamrock in the Panhandle, when the truck overturned. He said he was not speeding on the curved ramp.
