SAN ANTONIO — A portion of southbound I-35 in La Salle County is closed after an apparent accident that ended with a tractor-trailer on its side and hanging partially over the edge of an overpass.

It's unknown if anyone was seriously hurt in the accident, which happened sometime Friday evening near Mile Marker 68, potentially during a heavy downpour, according to witnesses. First responders are on the scene, and southbound traffic is being diverted onto an access road near Mile Marker 69.
