Semi-Truck, 18-Wheeler Overturns Disrupt I-35 Texas, I-40 Tennessee Traffic

Two major accidents involving overturned trucks have caused significant traffic disruptions in different states. In Robinson, Texas, a truck tractor semi-trailer overturned on northbound Interstate 35 at mile marker 330 after a tire blowout, leading to northbound traffic being diverted at Exit 330A with delays expected up to three hours as crews work to clear the scene; authorities have advised motorists to use alternate routes. Multiple agencies, including the Texas Department of Public Safety, Robinson Volunteer Fire Department, and local police, responded to the incident, which remains under investigation. Meanwhile, in Memphis, Tennessee, an 18-wheeler overturned on the I-40 bridge over the Mississippi River just before 12:30 a.m., shutting down two of the three eastbound lanes and causing traffic delays, although no information on injuries has been released. Both incidents highlight the ongoing challenges of managing traffic safety and emergency response on busy interstate highways.
