Wooley Law Takeaway

A major crash shut down northbound U.S. Highway 287 at I-20 in southwest Arlington for several hours after a person was reportedly ejected and found unresponsive on the roadway. According to Arlington police, the crash happened near U.S. 287 and Little Road, and the injured person was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. Serious highway crashes often require a detailed investigation to determine what happened. A Texas car accident attorney can review whether speed, distracted driving, unsafe lane changes, impairment, roadway conditions, vehicle defects, or another driver’s negligence contributed to the crash. When someone is ejected from a vehicle, the injuries can be catastrophic. Victims may face emergency care, surgery, long-term rehabilitation, lost income, and permanent disability. Evidence such as crash reports, vehicle damage, roadway debris, surveillance footage, witness statements, and vehicle data may be critical. If you or a loved one was seriously injured in an Arlington car accident, you may have the right to pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care needs.

Critical Collision Closes I-45 Ramp to US 175 in Dallas

A critical collision was reported at about 10:12 a.m. on June 2, 2026, on the eastbound ramp from I-45 to southbound US 175 in Dallas. All lanes on the ramp were closed while emergency crews responded to the scene. Early details did not confirm the number of vehicles involved or the extent of any injuries.

Evidence such as traffic camera footage, dashcam video, witness statements, crash scene measurements, roadway conditions, 911 calls, and vehicle damage may be critical in determining what happened.
