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. 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. If you or your loved one was seriously injured in a Dallas 18-wheeler accident, I-35E crash, Valley View Lane collision, or Texas commercial vehicle wreck, you may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, future care needs, and other damages.

Truck Rollover on Loop 289 Causes Major Traffic Delays in Lubbock - 18-Wheeler Wrecks

Truck Rollover on Loop 289 Causes Major Traffic Delays in Lubbock

A truck rollover on Loop 289 in Lubbock caused major traffic disruptions and prompted an emergency response. According to EverythingLubbock.com, the rollover crash blocked portions of the roadway while first responders worked to assist those involved and clear the scene. Authorities advised motorists to expect delays as crews investigated the circumstances surrounding the incident and removed the overturned truck. Truck rollover accidents can occur for many reasons, including excessive speed, shifting cargo, equipment failures, tire blowouts, driver fatigue, distraction, impairment, or roadway design issues. Because commercial trucks carry significant weight and can create widespread hazards when overturned, investigators often review driver logs, maintenance records, cargo securement procedures, witness statements, crash scene evidence, dashcam footage, and electronic vehicle data to determine what caused the rollover. If you were injured in a Lubbock truck accident, Loop 289 rollover crash, commercial vehicle collision, or serious roadway wreck, you may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, mental anguish, impairment, disfigurement, and other damages. If a loved one was killed in a truck-related crash, your family may also have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. Call (214) 699-6524 for a free consultation. You don’t pay unless we win.

Overturned Tanker Truck Shuts Down Lanes on I-635 Near I-20 in Balch Springs

An overturned tanker truck was reported around 7:17 a.m. on June 16, 2026, on northbound Interstate 635 at Interstate 20 in Balch Springs. Emergency crews responded to the scene after the tanker overturned, creating significant traffic disruptions during the morning commute. Early reports did not indicate whether other vehicles were involved or whether any injuries were reported, but incidents involving tanker trucks often require extensive emergency response efforts because of the potential for fuel spills, hazardous materials, and roadway closures. Tanker truck rollovers can occur for many reasons, including excessive speed, shifting cargo, mechanical failures, tire blowouts, driver fatigue, distraction, impairment, or roadway design issues. Because tanker trucks carry liquid cargo that can shift during travel, rollover crashes often require specialized investigations. Evidence such as driver logs, maintenance records, cargo loading documentation, electronic logging device data, crash scene measurements, witness statements, dashcam footage, and event data recorder information may be critical in determining what caused the incident. If you were injured in a Balch Springs truck accident, tanker truck rollover, I-635 crash, I-20 collision, or serious commercial vehicle wreck, you may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, mental anguish, impairment, disfigurement, and other damages. If a loved one was seriously injured or killed, your family may also have legal rights under Texas law. Call (214) 699-6524 for a free consultation. You don’t pay unless we win.
