Wooley Law Takeaway
A major crash involving multiple big rigs shut down eastbound I-10/Katy Freeway at Highway 6, according to KHOU. The crash caused major traffic delays while crews responded to the scene, removed the trucks, and addressed a reported fuel spill. Commercial truck crashes on the Katy Freeway can be dangerous because of heavy Houston traffic, highway speeds, sudden slowdowns, fuel hazards, and limited room for drivers to avoid disabled vehicles. When big rigs and fuel spills are involved, the crash must be investigated quickly and aggressively. Key evidence may include the crash report, witness statements, dash camera footage, traffic camera information, driver logs, black box data, inspection records, maintenance files, fuel-spill response records, and trucking company safety documents.

Major 18-Wheeler Crash Causes Backup on U.S. 67 at I-35E
A major collision involving an 18-wheeler caused a significant traffic backup on May 21, 2025, near the interchange of U.S. 67 and northbound I-35E. According to early reports, the crash involved a commercial truck and created heavy congestion as traffic slowed through the area. Officials had not immediately released details about injuries, the number of vehicles involved, or what caused the crash. Major truck crashes at highway interchanges can create serious hazards for drivers because of merging traffic, lane changes, limited reaction time, and the size and weight of commercial vehicles. Crashes involving 18-wheelers require a thorough investigation. A Texas truck accident lawyer can review whether driver fatigue, distraction, unsafe lane changes, following distance, speed, brake failure, tire failure, cargo issues, roadway design, or trucking company safety practices contributed to the collision. Truck accident evidence can disappear quickly. Black box data, driver logs, electronic logging records, inspection reports, maintenance records, dashcam footage, vehicle damage, roadway debris, crash scene photos, witness statements, police reports, and crash reconstruction evidence may all be critical to determining what happened and who may be responsible. If you or your loved one was injured in a Dallas 18-wheeler accident, U.S. 67 crash, I-35E truck collision, or Texas highway interchange wreck, you may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, future care needs, property damage, and other damages.

18-Wheeler Incident on I-635 at Preston Road Causes Delays in Dallas
An incident involving an 18-wheeler was reported around 3:00 p.m. on June 12, 2026, on westbound Interstate 635 at Preston Road in Dallas, Texas. The right lane and shoulder were closed while emergency crews responded to the scene. Early reports did not indicate whether the incident involved a collision, mechanical failure, cargo issue, or whether any injuries were reported. Incidents involving commercial trucks can create serious hazards for motorists because of the size and weight of the vehicle, limited visibility around trucks, and the potential for secondary collisions when lanes are blocked. Depending on the circumstances, investigators may need to determine whether driver fatigue, distraction, unsafe lane changes, mechanical issues, cargo problems, roadway conditions, maintenance failures, or company safety practices played a role. Evidence such as driver logs, electronic logging device data, inspection records, maintenance reports, dashcam footage, traffic camera video, witness statements, and event data may be important in determining what happened. If you were injured in a Dallas 18-wheeler accident, I-635 truck crash, Preston Road collision, or serious commercial vehicle incident, 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.
