Two people were killed in a crash that shut down Interstate 30 in Dallas Monday morning, deputies say.
The Dallas County Sheriff's Department said the crash happened at about 2:20 a.m. in the eastbound lanes of I-30 at Ferguson Road. Video from the scene showed at least two vehicles with extensive damage on the highway.
According to the sheriff's department, witnesses said the driver of a Chevrolet Trax was stopped in the left-center lane of eastbound I-30 with their hazard lights on. A person driving a Chevrolet Tahoe hit the Trax from behind, causing the Trax to veer to the right median.
The Tahoe continued eastbound and crashed into an HOV zipper wall before stopping.

The driver of the Tahoe was transported to Baylor Medical Center in Dallas in stable condition. Inside the Trax was a woman who was transported to Baylor in critical but stable condition.
A man and woman were outside of the Trax when it was hit and were killed. Police said it's not immediately clear where they were standing when the crash took place but that they were thrown forward and landed in the left-center lane where they died.
Eastbound I-30 was closed between the Ferguson Road exit and the Jim Miller Road exit for several hours overnight. All lanes were reopened at about 7 a.m.
