Wooley Law Takeaway

A mother was seriously injured and her unborn baby was killed after a devastating Garland 18-wheeler crash on Interstate 30 near President George Bush Turnpike, according to CBS Texas. Police said the crash involved an 18-wheeler hauling massive paper rolls weighing about 6,000 pounds each. Garland police reported that the 18-wheeler struck the center concrete barrier after colliding with a sedan, causing several paper rolls to come off the truck and cross into the eastbound lanes. An SUV carrying four people, including two children, then struck the loose cargo. This is a heartbreaking tragedy involving a seriously injured mother, children, and the loss of an unborn baby. It also demands an aggressive investigation into truck safety, cargo securement, speed, driver conduct, loading practices, and trucking company responsibility. The Wooley Law Firm has handled these types of catastrophic 18-wheeler and wrongful death cases. We know how quickly critical evidence can disappear, including dash camera footage, cargo securement records, driver logs, black box data, inspection reports, maintenance records, and company safety documents. Depending on the facts, responsibility may extend beyond the truck driver to the trucking company, cargo loader, shipper, broker, maintenance provider, trailer owner, or another company that helped create or failed to prevent this deadly hazard. If you or your loved one was injured in a Garland 18-wheeler accident, I-30 truck crash, loose cargo collision, President George Bush Turnpike wreck, unborn child loss, or catastrophic Texas highway crash, you may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, future care needs, mental anguish, impairment, loss of an unborn child, and other damages.

Big Rig Crash Shuts Down I-10 Katy Freeway at Highway 6

A major crash involving multiple big rigs shut down eastbound I-10/Katy Freeway at Highway 6, according to KHOU.

18-Wheeler Collision on US 287 at Bonds Ranch Road Near Haslet

A major collision involving an 18-wheeler was reported around 8:40 a.m. on June 9, 2026, on southbound US 287 at Bonds Ranch Road in Fort Worth near Haslet. The left lane and shoulder were closed while emergency crews responded to the crash scene. Early details did not confirm the number of vehicles involved or whether injuries were reported. Crashes involving 18-wheelers on busy highways like US 287 can create serious risks for drivers, passengers, and first responders, especially when traffic must merge around a lane closure during the morning commute. Investigators may need to determine whether speed, following distance, unsafe lane changes, distraction, driver fatigue, braking, blind spots, truck maintenance, cargo issues, or company safety practices contributed to the collision. 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. If you were injured in a Fort Worth 18-wheeler crash, US 287 collision, Bonds Ranch Road wreck, Haslet-area truck accident, or serious commercial vehicle crash, 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.

Major Wreck Closes Westbound I-20 Exit Ramp to Northbound Spur 408 in Dallas

A major wreck was reported on the exit ramp from westbound I-20 to northbound Spur 408 in Dallas. According to TxDOT, the exit ramp was closed while police, EMS, and other emergency crews responded to the scene. Additional details about injuries, the number of vehicles involved, and the cause of the crash have not yet been publicly released. Crashes on exit ramps can be especially dangerous because drivers are slowing, merging, and changing lanes in a limited amount of space. Congestion near the I-20 and Spur 408 interchange can quickly lead to rear-end collisions, sideswipe crashes, and secondary accidents. A serious Dallas crash should be investigated quickly. Key evidence may include the crash report, witness statements, dash camera footage, TxDOT camera information, nearby surveillance video, vehicle damage, cell phone records, medical records, and photos or videos from the scene.
