Wooley Law Takeaway
A vehicle left the roadway and went into a ditch Friday morning on northbound U.S. 75 at Throckmorton Road, causing lane closures during the morning commute.
The crash was reported at approximately 8:40 a.m. on November 13, 2026.
Following the collision, the two left lanes and the left shoulder of northbound U.S. 75 were closed while emergency crews responded to the scene.
At this time, the circumstances that caused the vehicle to leave the roadway and information regarding possible injuries have not been confirmed.
What Can Cause a Vehicle to Leave the Highway?
A vehicle can leave the roadway for many different reasons. Depending on the circumstances, investigators may consider factors such as:
Driver distraction
Excessive or unsafe speed
Fatigue
Sudden evasive maneuvers
Another vehicle changing lanes or entering the driver's path
Tire or mechanical failure
Wet or hazardous roadway conditions
Impaired driving
The fact that a vehicle ended up in a ditch does not necessarily mean the driver was solely responsible. In some crashes, another vehicle may contribute to an accident without ever making physical contact.
Evidence After a Run-Off-the-Road Crash
When a vehicle leaves a highway, evidence from the moments before the crash can be especially important.
Potential evidence may include:
Dash-camera footage
Traffic-camera video
Witness statements
Photographs of the roadway and vehicle
Tire marks or other physical evidence
Vehicle event-data-recorder information
Police crash reports
Nearby surveillance footage
If another driver caused a motorist to take evasive action, identifying witnesses or video may help establish what occurred even if the vehicles never collided.
