Wooley Law Takeaway

A serious crash involving an 18-wheeler left two people critically injured on Interstate 35E in Dallas County.

According to the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office, the crash was first reported around 2:15 a.m. Tuesday on southbound I-35E south of Valley View Lane. Officials said the crash involved a semi-truck and another vehicle.

Two people were transported to an area hospital in critical condition. All southbound lanes of I-35E were closed while emergency crews responded to the crash, and traffic was diverted to Loop 12. The highway reopened around 5:30 a.m. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

Why This Matters

Crashes involving 18-wheelers require a thorough investigation, especially when victims suffer critical injuries. A Texas truck accident lawyer can review whether driver fatigue, distraction, unsafe speed, following distance, improper lane changes, brake failure, tire problems, roadway conditions, or trucking company safety practices contributed to the crash.

Truck accident evidence can disappear quickly. Black box data, driver logs, electronic logging records, inspection reports, maintenance records, dashcam footage, vehicle damage, roadway debris, crash scene photos, witness statements, police reports, and crash reconstruction evidence may all be critical to determining what happened and who may be responsible.

Box Truck Crash on I-35E at Oak Lawn Avenue in Dallas - 18-Wheeler Wrecks
18-Wheeler Wrecks

Box Truck Crash on I-35E at Oak Lawn Avenue in Dallas

A wreck involving a box truck was reported on southbound I-35E at Oak Lawn Avenue in Dallas around midday Monday, September 28, 2026. According to the traffic information provided, the collision was reported at approximately 12:15 p.m. Early information did not identify any other vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or indicate how many lanes were affected. Box Truck Involved in Southbound I-35E Crash The wreck occurred on southbound I-35E/Stemmons Freeway near Oak Lawn Avenue in Dallas. Box trucks are commercial vehicles commonly used for delivery, moving, construction, and local freight work. When one is involved in a crash, investigators may need to examine not only the driver's actions but also the truck's ownership, employer, maintenance history, and electronic vehicle records. At this stage, however, there is not enough verified information to determine how Monday's collision happened or whether the box-truck driver, another motorist, or another factor contributed. What Evidence May Matter After a Box Truck Crash? Potentially important evidence may include: dashcam or onboard camera footage; GPS and fleet telematics; dispatch and delivery records; electronic vehicle data; driver work records; maintenance and inspection documents; brake and tire records; TxDOT traffic-camera footage; witness statements; and photographs and measurements from the scene. If another vehicle was involved, investigators may also examine its electronic data, damage pattern, and position after impact. Commercial-vehicle records can sometimes help establish where a truck had been traveling, how long the driver had been working, and whether the vehicle had recently experienced mechanical problems. Who Owns and Operates the Box Truck Can Matter A box truck may be owned by the driver's employer, a delivery company, a rental company, an independent contractor, or another business. If someone was seriously injured, identifying the truck's owner and operator may be important because those entities could possess relevant records such as: driver qualification information; route and dispatch records; inspection and maintenance history; company safety policies; insurance information; and onboard video or GPS data. The fact that a commercial vehicle was involved does not establish negligence by the driver or company. Responsibility depends on what the evidence ultimately shows. Another Recent Crash at I-35E and Oak Lawn Avenue The Wooley Law Firm previously reported a separate major wreck on southbound I-35E at Oak Lawn Avenue in Dallas on August 15, 2026. That earlier collision closed three southbound travel lanes. The Wooley Law Firm, PLLC Monday's September 28 box-truck wreck is a separate incident. The firm has also recently reported on other commercial-vehicle crashes along I-35E, including an 18-wheeler crash at Brookhaven and an 18-wheeler crash at Ann Arbor Avenue.

Major I-35E Trash Truck Crash at Sandy Lake Road in Carrollton - 18-Wheeler Wrecks
18-Wheeler Wrecks

Major I-35E Trash Truck Crash at Sandy Lake Road in Carrollton

A major wreck involving a trash truck was reported on southbound I-35E at Sandy Lake Road/Whitlock Lane in Carrollton on Friday afternoon, September 25, 2026. According to the traffic information provided, the collision was reported at approximately 12:45 p.m. Early information did not identify any other vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or indicate how many lanes were affected. The “major” designation is a traffic classification and does not by itself establish the severity of anyone’s injuries. Trash Truck Involved in Southbound I-35E Crash The wreck occurred near the Sandy Lake Road/Whitlock Lane interchange in Carrollton, along the I-35E corridor. A trash truck is a commercial vehicle, and crashes involving these vehicles can require investigation beyond what is typically available in an ordinary passenger-car collision. Depending on the type of truck and the company operating it, investigators may need to examine route information, fleet records, onboard cameras, GPS data, maintenance records, and electronic vehicle information. At this stage, however, there is not enough verified information to determine how Friday afternoon’s wreck occurred or whether the trash-truck driver, another motorist, or another factor contributed. What Evidence May Matter After a Trash Truck Crash? Potentially important evidence may include: onboard camera footage; GPS and fleet telematics; route and dispatch records; electronic vehicle data; driver work records; maintenance and inspection documents; brake, tire, and steering records; TxDOT traffic-camera footage; dashcam recordings from nearby vehicles; witness statements; and photographs and measurements from the scene. If another vehicle was involved, its electronic data and damage pattern could also help investigators reconstruct the sequence of events. Who Owns and Operates the Trash Truck Can Matter Trash and garbage trucks may be operated by a city, private waste company, contractor, or subcontractor. If someone was seriously injured, identifying the owner and operator of the truck may be an important early step because the responsible entity may possess records showing who was driving, what route the truck was assigned, when it was last inspected, and whether any maintenance problems had been reported. The fact that a commercial trash truck was involved does not establish negligence by the driver or company. Responsibility depends on the evidence. Another Recent Crash Near Sandy Lake Road The Wooley Law Firm reported a separate wreck on the southbound I-35E TEXpress lanes near Sandy Lake Road/Whitlock Lane on September 22, 2026. That earlier collision occurred three days before Friday’s trash-truck wreck and did not initially identify the vehicles involved. Wooley Law The September 25 collision is a separate incident.

Truck Rollover Prompts Overnight Emergency Response Near Bremond - 18-Wheeler Wrecks

Truck Rollover Prompts Overnight Emergency Response Near Bremond

A commercial truck rollover near Bremond in Robertson County required an extended response from local volunteer firefighters, according to local news reporting. The Bremond Volunteer Fire Department spent hours working at the crash scene while crews dealt with the overturned truck and worked to clear the area. Early information available to us did not confirm whether anyone was seriously injured or explain what caused the truck to overturn. Bremond Volunteer Firefighters Respond to Truck Rollover Bremond is located in Robertson County between Waco and Bryan-College Station. The community is served by the Bremond Volunteer Fire Department, which provides vehicle-rescue and extrication services for crashes in the area. Robertson County ESD A commercial-truck rollover can require a lengthy emergency response even after injured occupants have been treated. Crews may need to stabilize the tractor and trailer, address leaking fuel or fluids, manage cargo, remove debris, and coordinate heavy-duty towing equipment. The circumstances surrounding this Robertson County rollover remain under investigation. What Can Cause a Commercial Truck to Roll Over? There are many possible causes of a truck rollover, and the occurrence of a rollover does not by itself establish that the truck driver or trucking company was negligent. Depending on the evidence, investigators may examine: vehicle speed; a sharp turn or sudden steering maneuver; driver fatigue or distraction; shifting or improperly secured cargo; uneven cargo weight distribution; brake or tire failure; steering or suspension problems; roadway conditions; and the actions of another vehicle. The Wooley Law Firm has a detailed guide addressing truck rollover accidents and the evidence used to investigate them. Wooley Law Truck and Company Records May Help Explain the Crash Commercial trucks can contain electronic evidence that helps reconstruct what happened before a rollover. Potential evidence may include: electronic control module or “black box” data; dashcam or onboard camera footage; GPS and telematics information; electronic logging device records; driver hours-of-service information; dispatch communications; maintenance and inspection records; brake and tire records; cargo-loading and securement documents; and photographs and measurements from the crash scene. Cargo can be particularly important in a rollover investigation. An improperly loaded or shifting load can affect a truck's center of gravity and stability. Our guide to unsecured cargo and 18-wheeler accidents discusses how cargo evidence can become important after a commercial-truck wreck.
