Three people were injured after a major crash involving an 18-wheeler shut down all lanes of Interstate 30 in Garland, according to NBCDFW. Garland police reported that the crash happened Monday morning near Dalrock Road and involved a sedan and an 18-wheeler traveling westbound. According to police, the collision caused the 18-wheeler to strike the center concrete barrier. The truck’s cargo then crossed into the eastbound lanes, where another vehicle collided with debris in the roadway. Police said the eastbound vehicle had four people inside, including two children, and three occupants were taken to a local hospital. Crashes involving 18-wheelers can become especially dangerous when cargo spills, debris enters active lanes, or a large truck strikes a barrier. Drivers in nearby lanes may have only seconds to react, especially on a busy interstate like I-30. These collisions can lead to serious injuries, secondary crashes, highway closures, and complicated insurance disputes. A wreck like this should be carefully investigated to determine what caused the initial collision and whether the truck, driver, trucking company, cargo loader, maintenance provider, or another party may be responsible. Key evidence may include the police crash report, truck driver logs, dash camera footage, cargo securement records, black box data, inspection records, maintenance history, witness statements, and any available highway camera footage. Texas truck accident cases are different from ordinary car crash claims. Commercial vehicles are often subject to trucking safety rules, company policies, cargo securement requirements, driver qualification standards, and maintenance obligations. When an 18-wheeler crash causes injuries to innocent drivers, passengers, or children, it is important to identify every possible source of accountability.

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.

18-Wheeler Driver Killed in Rollover Crash Near Howe in Grayson County
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. Southmayd Police said the 18-wheeler left the roadway and overturned. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene. No other vehicles were involved, and the cause of the crash remained under investigation. The roadway was closed for approximately three and a half hours before reopening. Fatal 18-wheeler rollover crashes require a careful investigation, even when no other vehicles are reported to be involved. Investigators may need to determine whether speed, fatigue, distraction, roadway conditions, shifting cargo, braking, mechanical failure, tire failure, steering issues, maintenance problems, or company safety practices contributed to the crash. 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. If you lost a loved one in a Grayson County 18-wheeler crash, Howe truck rollover, or fatal commercial vehicle wreck, 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.

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.
