Four Hospitalized After 18-Wheeler Causes Multi-Vehicle Crash on I-35 in Lorena

An 18-wheeler jackknifed across all northbound lanes of I-35E at Mayhill Road/State School Road in Denton around 7:25 a.m. on July 13, 2026. According to TxDOT, the crash blocked all northbound lanes while emergency crews worked to clear the scene and restore traffic. Additional details about injuries, the number of vehicles involved, and what caused the truck to jackknife have not yet been released. Jackknife crashes involving 18-wheelers can be extremely dangerous because the trailer may swing across multiple lanes of traffic, leaving surrounding drivers with little time or space to avoid a collision. These crashes may result from sudden braking, excessive speed, equipment failure, poor weather, shifting cargo, or driver error. A serious Denton truck crash should be investigated quickly. Key evidence may include the crash report, witness statements, dash camera footage, black box data, driver logs, maintenance and inspection records, cargo records, cell phone records, vehicle damage, and photos or videos from the scene.

Evidence such as dashcam footage, traffic camera video, witness statements, vehicle damage, electronic logging data, inspection records, maintenance records, and the truck’s event data may be important in determining what happened.
