Southbound I35 Reopened After Morning Accident
Southbound I35 is open for traffic again after an accident Friday morning.
The Interstate was closed near NE 50th St. due to an accident. Traffic was diverted on to I44 westbound.
According to emergency responders, the truck driver was headed south on I35 when his cell phone rang. As he reached down to answer it, the truck veered off the road.
The driver over-corrected and hit a bridge, spilling diesel all over the highway. The interstate was closed for several hours as officials investigated the integrity of the bridge.

MOORE, Okla. (AP) -- The principal of the Oklahoma elementary school where seven children died in a tornado says her teachers did everything they could to save their lives.
Plaza Towers Elementary Principal Amy Simpson said at an emotional news conference Friday that children regularly had tornado drills and bravely faced a storm carrying 210 mph winds.
The twister hit just before the end of the school day Monday. The school had spent the first half of the day celebrating the students' accomplishments during the year.
Simpson said some teachers took the weight of collapsed walls onto their bodies to save children.
Monday's tornado was a top-of-the-scale EF5. The storm killed 24 people, including 10 children.
