Interstate 20 in southwest Parker County reopened at 7:45 a.m. Thursday following a collision several hours earlier between two tractor-trailer rigs, according to reports.
Two people were taken to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, but their medical conditions were unavailable early Thursday.
The wreck was reported at 1:13 a.m. near mile marker 397, according to a preliminary report from the Texas Department of Public Safety highway patrol. The area is about six miles west of Weatherford.
A westbound truck was following a car that was exiting at mile marker 397 when the driver of the car suddenly decided to swerve back onto the interstate, according to the report.
The driver of the big rig swerved to avoid the car, but then it went into the eastbound lane, where it collided with another rig, the report stated.
The eastbound truck smashed into the trailer of westbound truck.
It took more than six hours to clear the wreckage.
