Emergency personnel responded Thursday to a reported bridge collapse along Interstate 35 in Central Texas.
The Bell County Sheriff's Department says the accident happened late Thursday morning in Salado. That's about 40 miles north of Austin. Lt. Donnie Adams says traffic has been halted in both directions following what he describes as a bridge collapse.
Adams had no additional details on possible injuries or what caused the accident.
The Austin Statesman reported that a semi-truck struck a beam on an overpass and the beam fell on to vehicles. One Texas Department of Transportation spokeswoman told the paper that the situation is serious.
