There is a big traffic tie-up in Kaufman County this morning where a big rig rollover has closed a stretch of west-bound I-20 near FM 2965 east of Terrell.

Reports say the rig toppled on its side just before 7:30 a.m blocking both westbound lanes of the Interstate. The walls of the trailer were smashed in.

Traffic was backed up all the way to FM 47 in Van Zandt County.

Investigators have not said how the crash happened nor whether there were any injuries. The Elmo Fire Department says the closure will last for several hours.
