Wooley Law Takeaway

A crash was reported on eastbound State Highway 183 at Wingren Road in Irving around 7:45 a.m. on August 7, 2026.

According to TxDOT, the collision closed the right lane and shoulder while police officers, firefighters, EMS personnel, and other emergency responders worked at the scene. The lane closures caused delays for motorists traveling through the busy SH 183 corridor during the morning commute.

Authorities have not released information regarding the number of vehicles involved, whether anyone was injured, or what caused the collision. The crash remains under investigation.

Crashes on SH 183 can quickly create dangerous traffic conditions because of heavy commuter traffic, highway speeds, and frequent lane changes near Irving and DFW Airport. A prompt investigation is important to preserve critical evidence, including the police crash report, witness statements, dash-camera footage, nearby surveillance video, vehicle event data recorder information, cell phone records when appropriate, photographs of the scene, and accident reconstruction evidence. If a commercial vehicle was involved, investigators should also preserve electronic logging device data, engine control module information, driver qualification files, maintenance and inspection records, dispatch communications, and onboard camera footage.
