SCOTTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — Authorities say two people are dead and a section of Interstate 20 westbound in East Texas remains closed after a fire engulfed an 18-wheeler involved in a crash with a second tractor-trailer.

Harrison County sheriff’s deputies tell KSLA TV (http://tinyurl.com/p7gvvwc ) the accident happened around 2:30 a.m. Friday just west of the Scottsville exit. That’s about eight miles west of the Texas/Louisiana state line.
