PHARR - An 18-wheeler rollover accident prompted the closure of the westbound ramp of the Pharr Interchange Tuesday morning.
The city of Pharr communications director, Daniel Ramirez, tells us the crane was unable to lift the 18-wheeler due to it being fully loaded.
He tells us crews will work on unloading the 18-wheeler in order to successfully lift it.
The interchange is expected to remain closed throughout the morning.
