A major crash in downtown Dallas stalled traffic at rush hour Friday afternoon.

A big rig overturned along the connector ramp linking northbound U.S. Highway 75 to westbound Spur 366/Woodall Rogers Freeway.

The roadway was closed for nearly six hours as crews worked to clean up spilled diesel fuel.

The crash took place just before 3 p.m. The rig was righted and removed by 8:30 p.m. and the roadway reopened to traffic at about 9 p.m.

Police have not yet said what caused the crash or if anyone was hurt.
