A collision between a DART train and a pickup truck left one person dead and two others injured on Sunday, June 14, 2026, in Northeast Dallas.
According to Dallas Fire-Rescue, units were dispatched around 4:50 p.m. to the crash near Audelia Road and Royal Lane. Dallas Fire-Rescue confirmed that the pickup truck driver died at the scene. Two passengers on the DART train were taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Train-versus-vehicle crashes are often catastrophic because of the immense size and momentum of rail equipment. Investigators may need to determine whether crossing gates, warning lights, signals, visibility, speed, distraction, impairment, roadway design, or other factors contributed to the collision. Evidence such as train event recorder data, crossing signal records, surveillance footage, witness statements, vehicle damage, crash reconstruction analysis, and emergency response records may be critical in determining what happened.
If you lost a loved one in a Dallas train accident, DART collision, Audelia Road crash, Royal Lane railroad crossing wreck, or fatal transportation-related incident, you may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, mental anguish, lost financial support, and other damages. If you were injured in a train-related collision, you may also have the right to pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, impairment, and other damages.
