Overview
- The crash occurred before 8 p.m. Saturday on I-10 westbound near mile marker 470 in Kimble County, southeast of Junction.
- Eight people were injured, with some taken to Kimble Hospital and others treated at the scene, according to County Judge Hal Rose.
- All westbound lanes were shut for hours, and the roadway was cleared by midday Sunday, authorities said.
- Rose said weather appears to be the primary factor as freezing rain and sleet created slick, icy roads; the investigation continues.
- Officials urged drivers to avoid travel as arctic air keeps temperatures at or below freezing with wind chills expected below zero.
