Reports say just past 2:00 a.m. Monday, a south-bound truck crashed into a wall in the express lanes and burst into flames.

The driver was not hurt but his truck is a total loss and so is its cargo of produce.

At 3:00 a.m. Carrollton police said the south-bound express lanes would not be reopened in time for rush hour, but traffic will be able to get by in the main lanes.
