Dallas police closed lanes of Interstate 20 and Interstate 45 Thursday while responding to a man on an overpass, causing major traffic backups around the interchange, according to FOX 4.
FOX 4’s report, published at 1:57 p.m. Central, described aerial footage showing officers attempting to speak with the man. The station attributed its information to Dallas police and its SKY 4 helicopter coverage.
The Dallas Morning News later reported one death following an hourslong standoff at the interchange.
