(February 21, 2008)—Traffic began flowing normal as DPS officials cleared the scene around 6:30am.

The accident happened just before 3:30am on Interstate 35 at the Highway 6 Flyover.

DPS Officials on the scene said at some point the vehicle, a Dodge Durango, left the road way and began traveling south in the median between the north and south bound lanes where it struck a bridge support beam head-on. The SUV then traveled up the beam and rolled back on to the roof.

South bound I-35 was closed and traffic was diverted to access roads at New Road as emergency crews worked to clear the scene.

Agencies working the accident included DPS, Robinson Police, Robinson Volunteer Fire and Rescue, Waco Police, Waco Fire and East Texas Medical Center EMS.

There was only one occupant in the vehicle. Justin Harvey, 24, of Austin died at the scene Thursday Morning.
