ROUND ROCK, TEXAS (KXAN)
All lanes of Interstate 35 have reopened in Round Rock
following a fiery crash Tuesday between a dump truck and truck hauling a mobile

about two hours later.
The crash happened about 2 p.m. in the southbound lanes
between US 79 and RM 620. Authorities had to close down the

each direction around 4:30 p.m.
To help move traffic around the crash site, the Texas
