McKinney police are asking drivers to avoid the area on southbound US 75 near Bloomdale Road as they attend to multiple 18-wheelers that were blown over the evening of March 2.Â
In a post shortly after 7 p.m., Police said four 18-wheelers had blown over. The update came in the midst of inclement weather sweeping through the North Texas area. Police said the incidents were on southbound US 75 just north of Bloomdale Road.Â
Just before 9 p.m., an MPD update said that three of the four 18-wheelers still needed to be recovered, meaning that southbound US 75 would be shut down at Laud Howell until Bloomdale for the next several hours.Â
"Please avoid the area," the department stated. "Thankfully, there were only minor injuries."
