A 15-year-old boy was killed after a crash involving a motorcycle and an 18-wheeler in Euless, according to WFAA. The collision happened around 11:09 a.m. on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in the 700 block of North Industrial Boulevard. Authorities identified the teenager as Levi James Mott. Police said he died as a result of the crash. The regional CRASH Investigation Team was called to the scene to assist with the investigation. Officials have not yet released full details about what led to the collision or who was operating the motorcycle or the 18-wheeler. Fatal crashes involving motorcycles and 18-wheelers demand a careful investigation. A motorcycle rider has very little protection in a collision with a large commercial truck, and the size and weight difference between the vehicles can make these wrecks deadly. When the person killed is a teenager, the tragedy is even more devastating for the family and community. Important questions may need to be answered. Did the truck driver keep a proper lookout? Was the 18-wheeler turning, merging, changing lanes, or entering traffic? Was the motorcycle visible to the truck driver? Did speed, distraction, blind spots, road conditions, or failure to yield contribute to the crash? Were trucking safety rules followed? Evidence can disappear quickly after a serious commercial vehicle crash. Investigators may need to review the police crash report, witness statements, dash camera footage, nearby business surveillance video, truck inspection records, driver logs, electronic control module data, phone records, vehicle damage, and roadway evidence. Texas truck accident cases are different from ordinary car accident claims. Trucking companies and their insurance carriers may begin protecting their interests immediately after a fatal wreck. Families should also have someone working quickly to preserve evidence and investigate what really happened. If negligence caused or contributed to the crash, surviving family members may have the right to bring a Texas wrongful death claim. Compensation may include funeral expenses, mental anguish, loss of companionship, lost support, pain and suffering, and other damages available under Texas law.

Major 18-Wheeler Crash Causes Backup on U.S. 67 at I-35E
A major collision involving an 18-wheeler caused a significant traffic backup on May 21, 2025, near the interchange of U.S. 67 and northbound I-35E. According to early reports, the crash involved a commercial truck and created heavy congestion as traffic slowed through the area. Officials had not immediately released details about injuries, the number of vehicles involved, or what caused the crash. Major truck crashes at highway interchanges can create serious hazards for drivers because of merging traffic, lane changes, limited reaction time, and the size and weight of commercial vehicles. Crashes involving 18-wheelers require a thorough investigation. A Texas truck accident lawyer can review whether driver fatigue, distraction, unsafe lane changes, following distance, speed, brake failure, tire failure, cargo issues, roadway design, or trucking company safety practices contributed to the collision. 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 injured in a Dallas 18-wheeler accident, U.S. 67 crash, I-35E truck collision, or Texas highway interchange wreck, you may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, future care needs, property damage, and other damages.

An 18-wheeler driver was killed Monday afternoon, June 1, 2026, after a rollover crash on a Grayson County road near Howe. According to KXII, the crash happened on FM 902 near Bradshaw Road.

Evidence such as truck inspection records, maintenance logs, driver qualification files, electronic logging data, dashcam footage, event data recorder information, cargo records, roadway evidence, and witness statements may be critical in determining what happened.

18-Wheeler Overturns in Upshur County Crash on Highway 271
An 18-wheeler overturned in an Upshur County crash on Friday afternoon, June 5, 2026. According to KLTV, the wreck happened around 2 p.m. at the intersection of Highway 271 and FM 726 and involved an 18-wheeler and another vehicle. The 18-wheeler landed on its side in a ditch beside the road, and one northbound lane of Highway 271 was blocked while first responders worked the scene. East Mountain, West Mountain, Gilmer, and DPS responded, and DPS was investigating the cause of the crash. 18-wheeler rollover crashes can be especially dangerous because of the size and weight of the truck, the risk of cargo shifts, and the possibility of secondary crashes while lanes are blocked. Investigators may need to determine whether speed, braking, driver fatigue, distraction, roadway conditions, turning movements, load balance, truck maintenance, tire failure, or company safety practices contributed to the wreck. If you were injured in an Upshur County 18-wheeler crash, Highway 271 collision, FM 726 wreck, or serious commercial truck accident, you may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, mental anguish, impairment, and other damages.
