Avride Automated Driving System Investigated After Several Crashes

A major collision was reported on northbound I-35E at Commonwealth Drive in Dallas early Saturday morning, September 26, 2026. According to the traffic alert, the crash was verified at approximately 6:09 a.m. The lane-status diagram shows the right travel lane and right shoulder closed, while the remaining northbound lanes and adjacent exit area remained open. Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or explain what caused the collision. The “major” designation is a traffic classification and does not by itself establish the severity of anyone’s injuries. Right Lane and Shoulder Closed on Northbound I-35E The collision occurred on northbound I-35E/Stemmons Freeway at Commonwealth Drive in Dallas. Regional transportation records identify Commonwealth Drive along the I-35E corridor north of the Medical District and south of the SH 183/SH 114 interchange. With the right lane and shoulder blocked, approaching drivers could encounter emergency vehicles, sudden slowing, and traffic merging into the remaining open lanes. Because information remains preliminary, it would be premature to determine whether speed, distraction, following distance, an unsafe lane change, or another factor contributed to the wreck. What Evidence May Matter After an I-35E 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 videos from the scene; vehicle event-data recorder information; roadway debris and tire marks; and vehicle damage and final resting positions. Traffic cameras are present along this part of the I-35E corridor, including near Commonwealth Drive. Available video may help establish lane position, braking, traffic flow, and the movements of vehicles immediately before impact.

A wreck was reported on southbound US 75 at Spring Valley Road in Richardson around midday Friday, September 25, 2026. According to the traffic information provided, the collision was reported at approximately 12:10 p.m. The two left southbound lanes and the express lane were closed while emergency crews responded.

Two Left Lanes and Express Lane Closed on Southbound US 75 The collision affected southbound US 75 near Spring Valley Road, a heavily traveled section of North Central Expressway through Richardson. With two left lanes and the express lane blocked, traffic could be forced into the remaining general-purpose lanes, creating sudden slowing and congestion around the crash scene. Because information remains preliminary, it would be premature to determine whether speed, distraction, following distance, a lane change, or another factor contributed to the wreck. What Evidence May Matter After a US 75 Crash? If someone was seriously injured, potentially important evidence may include: traffic-camera footage; dashcam recordings; nearby surveillance video; Richardson 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 can be especially important on a multi-lane freeway because it may show lane changes, braking, traffic congestion, and the movements of the vehicles immediately before impact. Express-Lane Crashes Can Create Additional Traffic Issues A crash affecting both general-purpose lanes and an express lane can create a complicated traffic pattern. Drivers may have fewer options for avoiding stopped traffic, and emergency vehicles may have limited access depending on where the collision occurred. The lane closures themselves do not establish the seriousness of any injuries or who caused the crash. Injured in a US 75 Wreck in Richardson?
