18-Wheeler Crash on US 75 at Virginia Parkway in McKinney Closes Two Lanes

A major crash involving an 18-wheeler on southbound I-35E at Ann Arbor Avenue in Dallas shut down the main lanes early Thursday morning, September 10, 2026. The truck wreck was verified at approximately 3:48 a.m. The traffic diagram shows all southbound main lanes and the left shoulder closed, while the adjacent ramp remained open. Early information did not identify the other vehicles involved, confirm the extent of any injuries, or explain what caused the collision. Southbound I-35E 18-Wheeler Crash at Ann Arbor Avenue The collision caused a significant traffic disruption on I-35E near Ann Arbor Avenue in South Dallas. Drivers traveling south through the area could encounter major backups and traffic being diverted away from the closed main lanes while emergency crews worked around the 18-wheeler. Because information remains preliminary, it would be premature to determine whether an unsafe lane change, following too closely, speed, distraction, mechanical failure, cargo issues, or another factor contributed to the wreck. Evidence After an 18-Wheeler Crash on I-35E If anyone was injured, evidence from the commercial truck may be important in determining how the crash occurred. Potentially important evidence may include: Electronic control module or “black box” data Electronic logging-device records Onboard truck camera footage GPS and telematics information Driver hours-of-service records Dispatch communications Brake and tire maintenance records Cargo and loading records Highway traffic-camera footage Dashcam video Witness statements Photographs and videos from the scene Commercial trucking companies may possess evidence that is not available in an ordinary passenger-vehicle collision, which can make early preservation especially important.

A driver was killed in a fatal crash involving a semi-truck on northbound I-635 near Gross Road in Mesquite early Wednesday morning, September 9, 2026. The collision was reported at approximately 3:28 a.m. and initially resulted in major lane closures on northbound I-635. According to updated information, a passenger vehicle struck the rear of a semi-truck after the commercial truck slowed for traffic. The driver of the passenger vehicle was pronounced dead. Authorities had not yet released the victim's identity or additional information explaining the complete sequence leading to the collision. Driver Killed After Vehicle Hits Semi-Truck on I-635 The fatal wreck occurred on northbound I-635/LBJ Freeway near Gross Road in Mesquite. Initial traffic information showed three northbound travel lanes, the right shoulder, and the nearby ramp closed, leaving only the far-left travel lane open while police and emergency crews worked at the scene. The crash caused significant traffic problems during the Wednesday morning commute. Because the investigation remains ongoing, it would be premature to determine whether following distance, traffic speed, visibility, distraction, the semi-truck's braking, or another factor contributed to the collision. Why Did the Semi-Truck Slow Before the Crash? One important part of the investigation will be determining why traffic slowed and how much time the driver behind the semi had to react. Investigators may need to determine whether traffic ahead of the commercial truck had stopped or slowed suddenly, when the truck driver began braking, whether the trailer's brake lights were functioning, and how fast the passenger vehicle was traveling before impact. The fact that a passenger vehicle struck the back of a semi-truck does not automatically determine legal responsibility. Evidence After a Fatal Rear-End Truck Crash A fatal collision involving a commercial truck can require evidence from both vehicles. Potentially important evidence may include: The semi-truck's electronic control module or "black box" data Electronic logging-device records Onboard truck camera footage GPS and telematics information Brake and lighting inspection records Highway traffic-camera footage Dashcam video Passenger-vehicle event-data recorder information Witness statements Crash-scene photographs and measurements Vehicle damage and debris patterns The Wooley Law Firm represents people injured in Texas 18-wheeler and commercial truck accidents, including serious and fatal crashes throughout Mesquite, Dallas County, and North Texas. Rear-End 18-Wheeler Crashes Can Be More Complicated Than They Appear A rear-end collision is sometimes assumed to be entirely the fault of the vehicle in back, but serious truck crashes can involve additional issues. Depending on the evidence, investigators may examine whether the commercial vehicle stopped unexpectedly, whether its lights were visible and functioning, whether traffic conditions created a sudden emergency, and whether another crash or roadway obstruction caused vehicles ahead to slow. The complete sequence should be established before responsibility is assigned. Lost a Loved One in a Mesquite I-635 Crash?
