Wooley Law Takeaway
An 18-wheeler jackknifed across all northbound lanes of I-35E at Mayhill Road/State School Road in Denton around 7:25 a.m. on July 13, 2026.
According to TxDOT, the crash blocked all northbound lanes while emergency crews worked to clear the scene and restore traffic.
Additional details about injuries, the number of vehicles involved, and what caused the truck to jackknife have not yet been released.
Jackknife crashes involving 18-wheelers can be extremely dangerous because the trailer may swing across multiple lanes of traffic, leaving surrounding drivers with little time or space to avoid a collision. These crashes may result from sudden braking, excessive speed, equipment failure, poor weather, shifting cargo, or driver error.
A serious Denton truck crash should be investigated quickly. Key evidence may include the crash report, witness statements, dash camera footage, black box data, driver logs, maintenance and inspection records, cargo records, cell phone records, vehicle damage, and photos or videos from the scene.

18-Wheeler Collision on US 287 at Bonds Ranch Road Near Haslet
A major collision involving an 18-wheeler was reported around 8:40 a.m. on June 9, 2026, on southbound US 287 at Bonds Ranch Road in Fort Worth near Haslet. The left lane and shoulder were closed while emergency crews responded to the crash scene. Early details did not confirm the number of vehicles involved or whether injuries were reported. Why This Matters Crashes involving 18-wheelers on busy highways like US 287 can create serious risks for drivers, passengers, and first responders, especially when traffic must merge around a lane closure during the morning commute. Investigators may need to determine whether speed, following distance, unsafe lane changes, distraction, driver fatigue, braking, blind spots, truck maintenance, cargo issues, or company safety practices contributed to the collision. Evidence such as dashcam footage, traffic camera video, witness statements, vehicle damage, electronic logging data, inspection records, maintenance records, and the truck’s event data may be important in determining what happened. How Wooley Law Can Help If you were injured in a Fort Worth 18-wheeler crash, US 287 collision, Bonds Ranch Road wreck, Haslet-area truck accident, or serious commercial vehicle crash, you may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, mental anguish, impairment, and other damages.

Overturned Tanker Truck Shuts Down Lanes on I-635 Near I-20 in Balch Springs
An overturned tanker truck was reported around 7:17 a.m. on June 16, 2026, on northbound Interstate 635 at Interstate 20 in Balch Springs. Emergency crews responded to the scene after the tanker overturned, creating significant traffic disruptions during the morning commute. Early reports did not indicate whether other vehicles were involved or whether any injuries were reported, but incidents involving tanker trucks often require extensive emergency response efforts because of the potential for fuel spills, hazardous materials, and roadway closures. Why This Matters Tanker truck rollovers can occur for many reasons, including excessive speed, shifting cargo, mechanical failures, tire blowouts, driver fatigue, distraction, impairment, or roadway design issues. Because tanker trucks carry liquid cargo that can shift during travel, rollover crashes often require specialized investigations. Evidence such as driver logs, maintenance records, cargo loading documentation, electronic logging device data, crash scene measurements, witness statements, dashcam footage, and event data recorder information may be critical in determining what caused the incident. How Wooley Law Can Help If you were injured in a Balch Springs truck accident, tanker truck rollover, I-635 crash, I-20 collision, or serious commercial vehicle wreck, you may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, mental anguish, impairment, disfigurement, and other damages. If a loved one was seriously injured or killed, your family may also have legal rights under Texas law. Call (214) 699-6524 for a free consultation. You don’t pay unless we win.
