A crash involving an 18-wheeler on Interstate 20 caused major delays in Grand Prairie Thursday morning.

The crash happened at approximately 10 p.m. on Wednesday.

Officials said the 18-wheeler was driving eastbound on I-20 when it crossed the barrier between Carrier Parkway and Beltline, traveling into the westbound lanes of the interstate.

One driver was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not considered life-threatening, said Grand Prairie Police spokesman Mark Beseda.

Traffic on Thursday morning was backed up to President George Bush Turnpike as officials worked to clear the crash.

All lanes of the interstate were back open later Thursday.

It's not yet clear what caused the crash.
