Wooley Law Takeaway
A collision was reported on eastbound I-635 at Coit Road in Dallas during the Friday morning commute on September 18, 2026.
According to the traffic information provided, the wreck was reported at approximately 8:40 a.m. The right travel lane and exit lane were closed while emergency crews responded.
Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or explain what caused the collision.
Right Lane and Exit Lane Closed After I-635 Crash
The wreck affected eastbound traffic on I-635/LBJ Freeway near Coit Road in North Dallas.
With the right lane and exit lane blocked, drivers approaching the scene could encounter congestion, sudden braking, emergency vehicles, and motorists merging into the remaining open lanes.
Because information remains preliminary, it would be premature to determine whether speeding, distracted driving, following too closely, an unsafe lane change, or another factor contributed to the collision.
Another Recent I-635 Crash at Coit Road
The Wooley Law Firm previously reported a separate major eastbound I-635 crash at Coit Road on August 29, 2026. That earlier collision closed three right travel lanes and the shoulder.
The two crashes are separate incidents and are not known to be related.
Evidence After an I-635 Wreck
If someone is seriously injured in a freeway collision, potentially important evidence may include:
TxDOT traffic-camera footage;
dashcam recordings;
nearby surveillance video;
police crash reports;
witness statements;
photographs and videos from the scene;
vehicle event-data recorder information;
roadway debris and tire marks; and
vehicle damage and final resting positions.
Video can be especially useful in a freeway crash because it may show lane changes, braking, traffic congestion, and the sequence of events immediately before impact.
