VON ORMY, Texas — A crash involving a big rig late Wednesay night led to some lanes of I-35 to close in Von Ormy for several hours.
Police say one occupant of the big rig became stuck between a concrete median and his truck around 11:45 p.m. just before the Somerset exit of I-35.
First responders were able to rescue the driver and he was transported with life-threatening injuries to a local hospital.
Crews say the accident took hours to clear and lanes of I-35 were reopened around 6 a.m. Thursday morning.
This is a developing story and further updates will be added as they are received.
