Major crashes cleared after impacting Wednesday morning commute

Two major North Texas highways are back open after early-morning crashes on Wednesday.

Eastbound lanes of I-30 were closed for about 5 hours at 635 in Mesquite after a truck hauling gravel crashed and overturned around 3:45 a.m. Crews had to clean up the spilled gravel, and a hazmat team also responded.

Another wreck just after 6 a.m. closed the southbound main lanes of 35E at Valwood Parkway, near the Farmer's Branch-Carrollton border. Those lanes also reopened.
