18-wheeler carrying bananas crashes on I-35 in Dallas

A truck driver is okay after losing control and crashing overnight in Northwest Dallas.

The trailer was carrying 40,000 pounds of bananas.

The crash happened just after 2 a.m., when the trailer detached from the cab and slid down an embankment on I-35, near 635.

It took a few hours to move the cab off the freeway.

It appears the wet road from Sunday night's rain was a factor.
