A hit-and-run crash involving a pedestrian closed all northbound lanes of Interstate 35E in Corinth on Tuesday morning, according to NBCDFW.

The crash happened around 5 a.m. on June 23, 2026, near Corinth Parkway in the 4900 block of I-35E.

Corinth police described the incident as an “automobile vs. pedestrian” crash. Emergency services responded to the scene, and law enforcement blocked the interstate while officers conducted their investigation. Traffic was diverted to the nearest exit, and officials warned drivers to expect significant delays. The lanes later reopened around 8 a.m.

Pedestrian crashes on major highways like I-35E are often catastrophic. Drivers have a duty to remain at the scene, call for help, and cooperate with investigators after a crash. When a driver leaves after hitting a person, it can delay emergency care, complicate the investigation, and make an already devastating situation even worse.

A serious Corinth hit-and-run crash should be investigated quickly. Key evidence may include police reports, 911 calls, witness statements, traffic camera footage, nearby business surveillance video, dash camera footage, vehicle debris, paint transfer, roadway evidence, cell phone records, and information from license plate reader systems. In hit-and-run cases, preserving and locating video evidence early can be critical.

Victims and families may still have legal options even when the driver leaves the scene. Depending on the facts, compensation may be available through uninsured motorist coverage, underinsured motorist coverage, personal injury protection, third-party claims, or claims against other responsible parties. If the driver is later identified, that person may face both criminal consequences and civil liability.

Hit-and-run pedestrian cases can involve serious injuries, permanent impairment, traumatic brain injuries, spinal injuries, broken bones, internal injuries, or wrongful death. Families may be left with medical bills, funeral expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, mental anguish, and many unanswered questions.
