An 18-wheeler rollover on southbound Interstate 35 near Von Ormy shut down part of the highway Monday afternoon and caused significant traffic delays. Von Ormy police said officers were dispatched at approximately 3:07 p.m. to the 14100 block of southbound I-35, where an 18-wheeler had overturned in a single-vehicle crash. Police said no injuries had been reported. Traffic was diverted to the Somerset exit while emergency crews responded and worked to clear the scene. The Bexar County Fire Department and Allegiance Mobile Health were among the agencies assisting. What Happened in the I-35 18-Wheeler Rollover? The crash involved a single 18-wheeler traveling on southbound I-35 near Von Ormy. Police reported that the truck overturned, but authorities had not released information explaining what caused the rollover. Although no injuries were initially reported, the crash caused a substantial traffic backup while crews dealt with the overturned commercial vehicle. What Can Cause an 18-Wheeler to Roll Over? Commercial truck rollovers can occur for several reasons, depending on the circumstances. Investigators may examine: Speed entering a curve or turn Sudden steering or evasive maneuvers Shifting or improperly secured cargo Tire failure Brake, steering, or suspension problems Roadway or weather conditions Driver fatigue or distraction Vehicle loading and weight distribution At this time, none of those factors has been identified as the cause of this particular rollover. Evidence That May Matter After a Truck Rollover An investigation into a commercial truck rollover may include: Electronic control module data Electronic logging-device records GPS and telematics information Dash-camera footage Cargo and loading records Driver qualification records Hours-of-service records Tractor and trailer maintenance records Tire and brake inspections Crash-scene photographs and measurements The truck’s electronic and mechanical evidence may help determine its speed, braking activity, steering movements, and condition immediately before the rollover. Why Preserving the Tractor and Trailer Can Matter A rolled-over 18-wheeler may contain physical evidence that helps explain why the crash occurred. Investigators may need to inspect the tires, suspension, brakes, steering system, trailer, and cargo before the vehicle is repaired, salvaged, or returned to service. Electronic data and onboard video can also be overwritten or lost if they are not preserved promptly. Injured in an 18-Wheeler Crash in Texas?

A multi-vehicle collision on westbound Interstate 10 at Transmountain Road in El Paso shut down the westbound highway Monday, October 19, 2026. KTSM reported that westbound I-10 was closed at Transmountain because of the crash. Information about the number and types of vehicles involved, possible injuries, and the circumstances leading to the collision had not yet been confirmed. What Happened in the I-10 Crash at Transmountain? The collision occurred on westbound I-10 in the Transmountain area of west El Paso and involved multiple vehicles. The highway closure created the potential for substantial delays along one of El Paso's primary interstate corridors. Authorities had not yet released enough information to determine how the crash began or the sequence in which the vehicles collided. Because this is a developing incident, no conclusions should be drawn about fault until investigators determine what happened. Why Multi-Vehicle Wrecks Can Be Difficult to Investigate When three or more vehicles are involved in a highway crash, determining responsibility can require investigators to reconstruct several separate impacts. One collision may trigger additional impacts as nearby drivers brake, change lanes, or attempt to avoid the initial wreck. Damage to each vehicle, its final resting position, and electronic data may help establish the order in which the impacts occurred. Evidence That May Matter After a Multi-Vehicle I-10 Crash Potentially important evidence may include: Dash-camera footage Traffic and surveillance-camera video Crash-scene photographs and measurements Vehicle damage and points of impact Electronic vehicle data Witness statements Tire marks and roadway debris Cellphone records when legally relevant The investigating agency's crash report Identifying the first impact can be particularly important in a multi-vehicle collision because different drivers may have different accounts of how the wreck began.

A collision involving a tanker truck on westbound Interstate 30 at State Highway 360 in Arlington was causing traffic delays Monday afternoon, October 19, 2026.

The collision occurred on westbound I-30 near SH 360 and involved a tanker truck. At this time, it is not known how many total vehicles were involved or what caused the wreck. Because tanker trucks may carry fuel, chemicals, food products, or other liquids, the type of cargo can affect how emergency crews handle a crash. There is currently no confirmed information identifying what this tanker was carrying or indicating that any hazardous material was released. Why Tanker Truck Crashes Require Careful Investigation A serious tanker-truck collision may involve issues beyond those in an ordinary passenger-vehicle wreck. Investigators may need to examine the tractor, trailer, tank, braking system, tires, cargo records, vehicle weight, and whether shifting liquid affected the truck’s handling. None of those factors has been identified as the cause of this particular wreck. Evidence That May Matter After a Tanker Truck Wreck Potentially important evidence may include: Electronic control module data Electronic logging-device records GPS and telematics information Dash-camera footage Tanker cargo and shipping records Driver qualification and hours-of-service records Tractor and trailer inspection records Maintenance records Crash-scene photographs and measurements Witness statements If the tanker was carrying liquid cargo, investigators may also examine the load level and how movement of the liquid inside the tank may have affected the vehicle.
