I have been searching and find nothing. Apparently, there was a body hanging from the overpass on the Spur 408 to I-20 Westbound, and had traffic all snarled up.
This did come from the Bone, but it was too ad-lib to be a setup, and the TxDOT cams are shut down there, so I can't see anything. If anyone has heard anything, or was there, I'd appreciate any info. I won't go into why, but I'm curious if this was really a suicide.

From what I'm reading the left 2 lanes are closed on I-20 east bound.
http://dfwtraffic.dot.state.tx.us/dal-cam-nf.asp Several years ago there was a jumper from the 360 bridge onto 183 east bound. I happened upon it right after the guy had jumped. We were all swerving around trying to avoid running over him and each other.

I just heard a current traffic update from 107.5. Nothing about I20 but if anyone is headed to loop 12 and 30 don't...there is an overturned truck with flour everywhere.....Thank goodness it's not raining.

You guys are awful...funny that is heheh!
So far nothing in the news. But a story on what superbowl rings mean to their wearers is breaking, I guess that overshadows something like this.

A 22-year-old Dallas man apparently hanged himself early this morning from an overpass spanning a busy highway intersection in southwest Dallas.
The incident caused a traffic jam that lasted more than two hours.
The man's name was unavailable this afternoon, pending notification of his family.
A Dallas police spokeswoman said officers were summoned at 7:18 a.m. to the overpass near the intersection of Spur 408 and Interstate 20, about a mile and a half southeast of Mountain Creek Lake.
Traffic was backed up in the area for about two hours as officers worked to recover the man's body and complete their investigation.

Maybe its Martin Frost.
To: evets
Yes, that one has been down all morning. The other one, on I20, only updates when not turned towards spur 408.
I'm sure Laura Miller is on top of it. I understand that she will be blaming Walmart.
To: evets
where's Spur 408?
To: evets
Thanks! I was scanning both paper's websites, but nothing I could find.
To: No Blue States
He has the motive.

I just spotted a short article on The Dallas Morning News and was going to post it. A quick search found your post here.
Here is the article ...
