Two people died and two others injured following a head-on collision on Interstate 30 in Dallas on Monday morning, Dallas County Sheriff’s Office said.
The collision occurred around 2:20 a.m. in the eastern lane of I-30 on Ferguson Road.
At least two vehicles were reportedly destroyed on the highway with extensive damage.
One person was rushed to a hospital in critical condition while the other sustained minor injuries.
The crash led to the closure of eastbound I-30 between the exits of Ferguson Road and Jim Miller Road.
A head-on collision occurs when the front ends of two vehicles hit each other while travelling in opposite directions.
