The north-bound side re-opened just before 6 a.m. but police are not even estimating when the south-bound side will clear.

Despite the severity of the crash, just one of the drivers was hurt and those injuries are not severe.

I-35 both directions at 1173 shut down due to 18 wheeler wreck and fire, north side of Denton. #DFWtraffic, @cityofdentontx , @DENTONPD https://t.co/KwqgawsiDm
