Shortly after 9:30 a.m., Dallas County sheriff’s deputies responded to a major crash on the southbound lanes of I-45, just south of Malloy Bridge Road near Ferris, authorities said.

Dallas Fire-Rescue aided in recovery efforts.
The driver of the semi, who has not been identified, died. No one else was injured, the sheriff’s department said. Two southbound lanes of the highway remained closed into Thursday afternoon because of cleanup efforts, which were expected to last a few hours, according to the sheriff’s department.
