Rural highway in North Texas closed due to police operation – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

U.S. Highway 377 is open in both directions after the road was closed for more than an hour Wednesday afternoon due to a standoff near downtown.

A homeowner who lives on Tahiti Drive, next to 377, told NBC 5 she heard a bang outside her house and went to see what was happening. When she went outside, the woman said she saw a pickup truck collide with two vehicles in her driveway.

The woman stated that police officers were also there and shouted at her with guns drawn to go inside.

The woman told police the driver of the truck refused to get out but spoke with police. At around 4:30 p.m., the woman told NBC 5 the driver eventually surrendered and was taken into custody.

Further details of the situation have not been confirmed by law enforcement authorities.

The closure stretched between Texas 144 and Hill Boulevard and included a section of the east-west road that crosses the Brazos River. Highway 377 is the main thoroughfare through Granbury and one of the few that crosses the river. The Pearl Street crossing remains open.
