Wooley Law Takeaway

A wreck was reported on the southbound I-35E TEXpress lanes at Valley Ridge Boulevard in Lewisville during the Thursday morning commute on September 24, 2026.

According to the traffic information provided, the collision was reported at approximately 7:15 a.m.

Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or indicate whether the crash completely blocked the express lanes.

Wreck Reported on I-35E Express Lanes in Lewisville

The collision occurred along the southbound I-35E TEXpress corridor near Valley Ridge Boulevard.

TxDOT's I-35E TEXpress map identifies Valley Ridge Boulevard along the managed-lane corridor through Lewisville. The I-35E TEXpress system consists of reversible managed lanes extending through portions of Denton and Dallas counties. On weekdays, the lanes operate southbound during the morning period.

Because the TEXpress lanes are separated from the regular I-35E main lanes and have fewer entrances and exits, a collision inside the managed lanes can create different traffic and emergency-response issues than a wreck on the regular freeway lanes.

Why Express-Lane Crash Evidence Can Be Important

A wreck inside a barrier-separated express-lane system may involve a relatively confined roadway area with limited places for vehicles to enter or exit.

If someone was seriously injured, potentially important evidence may include:

  • TEXpress or TxDOT traffic-camera footage;

  • dashcam recordings;

  • vehicle event-data recorder information;

  • toll-lane transaction or access information when relevant;

  • witness statements;

  • police crash reports;

  • photographs and video from the scene;

  • roadway debris and tire marks; and

  • vehicle damage and final resting positions.

This evidence may help establish where each vehicle was traveling, whether traffic was slowing, and what happened immediately before impact.

Another Recent I-35E TEXpress Crash

The Wooley Law Firm recently reported on a separate wreck on the southbound I-35E TEXpress lanes near Sandy Lake Road in Carrollton on September 22, 2026. That collision was reported during the morning commute approximately two days before the Valley Ridge Boulevard wreck.

The two crashes are separate incidents and are not known to be related.

Crash on Eastbound SH 114 at Texan Trail in Grapevine

A wreck was reported on eastbound State Highway 114 at Texan Trail in Grapevine during the Thursday morning commute on September 24, 2026. According to the traffic information provided, the collision was reported at approximately 8:45 a.m. Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or indicate whether any lanes were closed. Eastbound SH 114 Crash at Texan Trail The collision occurred along SH 114 near Texan Trail in Grapevine. TxDOT identifies Texan Trail along the SH 114 corridor through Grapevine. A crash in this area can quickly affect morning traffic because SH 114 carries vehicles between Grapevine, DFW Airport, Irving, and other parts of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Because the circumstances remain preliminary, it would be premature to determine whether speed, distraction, following distance, an unsafe lane change, sudden braking, or another factor contributed to the wreck. What Evidence May Matter After an SH 114 Crash? If someone was seriously injured, 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 and electronic vehicle data may help establish traffic conditions, braking, lane position, and how the vehicles moved immediately before impact. Other Recent SH 114 Crashes in North Texas The Wooley Law Firm has recently reported on several separate crashes along the SH 114 corridor, including an eastbound SH 114 crash at Wingren Drive in Irving and a critical eastbound SH 114 crash at Central Avenue in Southlake. Those incidents involved different locations and circumstances and are not known to be related to Thursday morning's Grapevine collision. Injured in an SH 114 Wreck?

Crash on Northbound Loop 12 at Trinity River in Dallas

A collision was reported on northbound Loop 12 at the Trinity River (Elm Fork) in Dallas during the Thursday morning commute on September 24, 2026. According to the traffic information provided, the wreck was reported at approximately 8:00 a.m. Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or indicate whether any lanes were closed. Northbound Loop 12 Crash Near the Elm Fork The collision occurred along Loop 12 near its crossing of the Elm Fork of the Trinity River. Dallas Park and Recreation identifies the Elm Fork Greenbelt as extending from Loop 12 toward the Trinity River confluence. A crash in this part of the Loop 12 corridor can quickly affect morning traffic as approaching drivers encounter slowing vehicles, emergency responders, and changing traffic patterns. Because the circumstances remain preliminary, it would be premature to determine whether speed, distraction, following distance, a lane change, or another factor contributed to the collision. Evidence After a Loop 12 Crash in Dallas If someone was seriously injured, potentially important evidence may include: traffic-camera footage; dashcam recordings; nearby surveillance video; Dallas Police crash reports; witness statements; photographs and video from the scene; vehicle event-data recorder information; roadway debris and tire marks; and vehicle damage and final resting positions. Electronic vehicle data and video can help establish lane position, braking, speed changes, and the movements of the vehicles immediately before impact. Several Recent Crashes Have Been Reported at This Location This is not the first recent collision reported on northbound Loop 12 near the Trinity River. The Wooley Law Firm reported a separate Loop 12 crash at the Trinity River earlier in September that closed two left lanes. The firm also covered an August crash at the same Trinity River crossing that closed the right lane and shoulder. Those were separate incidents and are not known to be related to Thursday morning's collision. Injured in a Loop 12 Wreck in Dallas?

Major I-635 Crash at US 75 in Dallas Closes Multiple Lanes - Car Accidents
Car Accidents

Major I-635 Crash at US 75 in Dallas Closes Multiple Lanes

A major collision was reported on westbound I-635 at US 75/North Central Expressway in Dallas on Thursday afternoon, September 24, 2026. The traffic alert identifies the crash as verified, and the lane-status diagram shows multiple westbound lanes closed while other lanes remained available to traffic. Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or explain what caused the collision. Multiple Lanes Affected at I-635 and US 75 The collision occurred at one of North Dallas' busiest freeway interchanges, where I-635/LBJ Freeway meets US 75/North Central Expressway. With several westbound lanes unavailable, drivers approaching the interchange could encounter significant congestion, emergency vehicles, sudden braking, and motorists merging into the remaining open lanes. The I-635 corridor east of US 75 also remains affected by the ongoing 635 East construction project, although there is currently no information showing that construction played any role in Thursday's crash. What Evidence May Matter After an I-635 Crash? If someone was seriously injured, potentially important evidence may include: TxDOT traffic-camera footage; dashcam recordings; nearby surveillance video; Dallas Police crash reports; witness statements; photographs and video from the scene; vehicle event-data recorder information; roadway debris and tire marks; and vehicle damage and final resting positions. Video evidence can be especially useful at a large freeway interchange because it may show lane changes, merging traffic, braking, and the movements of the vehicles immediately before impact. Determining Fault After a Dallas Freeway Collision Responsibility for an I-635 collision depends on the facts developed during the investigation. Investigators may examine whether a driver changed lanes unsafely, followed too closely, failed to control speed, was distracted, or failed to respond to slowing traffic. At this point, there is not enough information to determine what caused Thursday afternoon's wreck or whether any particular driver was responsible. Other Recent Crashes Near I-635 and US 75 The Wooley Law Firm previously reported a separate major crash on northbound US 75 at the ramp to westbound I-635 in August 2026. That collision closed the right travel lane and shoulder near the same North Dallas interchange. The firm also recently reported a separate crash on southbound US 75 near Churchill Way, just south of I-635. Those incidents involved different dates and circumstances and are not known to be related to the September 24 collision. Injured in an I-635 Wreck in Dallas?
