One person called 911 after his vehicle became stuck in the high water, officials say.<\/p>\n
DALLAS \u2014 Ahead of an expected freeze overnight, a water main has broken near Interstate 35 at Oak Lawn Avenue, according to Dallas Fire Rescue.<\/p>\n
Officials say DFR units were called to the break at about 7:36 p.m. Monday after a 911 caller said his vehicle had become stuck in high water in the area. The water had reportedly risen to his door.<\/p>\n
DFR confirmed the break upon arrival and notified the city water department of about 2 to 3 feet of stand water at the site.<\/p>\n
No cars are currently in the water, police say. Access to Oak Lawn Avenue has been blocked from Harry Hines and from I-35, according to DFR. The northbound exit on I-35 to Oak Lawn Avenue is also closed.<\/p>\n
The leak is reportedly at the frontage road and Oak Lawn Avenue, and at the lanes heading into the Design District.<\/p>\n
It’s unknown at this time how long it will take to mitigate the break. The cause of the line break is not yet known either.<\/p>\n
