A Parker County stretch of I-20 is reopened today after an hours-long closure because of a crash on Tuesday.

A box truck rear ended a big rig on eastbound I-20 just west of Weatherford.

The impact caused a fuel spill which took about four hours to clean up.

The box truck was seriously hurt and was taken to a Fort Worth hospital. The big rig driver was not hurt.

The interstate was re-opened late last night.

DPS investigators say traffic came to a big slowdown and the box truck driver did not slow down in time to avoid smashing into the 18-wheeler.
