I-20 Crash at Wheatland Road in Dallas

A wreck was reported on southbound I-35E at Mayhill Road/State School Road in Denton during the Wednesday morning commute on September 23, 2026. According to the traffic information provided, the collision was reported at approximately 8:40 a.m. The two left southbound lanes were closed while emergency crews responded. Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or explain what caused the collision. Two Left Lanes Closed on Southbound I-35E The crash occurred near the State School Road/Mayhill Road interchange in Denton. TxDOT identifies this location as part of the I-35E corridor in Denton and currently has roadway work underway in the area, including frontage-road and interchange improvements. With two left lanes blocked during morning traffic, motorists approaching the scene could encounter congestion, sudden braking, and vehicles merging into the remaining open lanes. Because the circumstances remain preliminary, it would be premature to determine whether speed, distraction, following distance, a lane change, roadway conditions, or another factor contributed to the wreck. What Evidence May Matter After an I-35E Crash? If someone was seriously injured, potentially important evidence may include: TxDOT traffic-camera footage; dashcam recordings; nearby surveillance video; police crash reports; witness statements; photographs and videos from the scene; vehicle event-data recorder information; roadway debris and tire marks; and vehicle damage and final resting positions. Video and electronic vehicle data can be especially useful in a multi-lane freeway collision because they may show braking, lane changes, traffic congestion, and the movements of each vehicle immediately before impact. Another Recent Crash at Mayhill Road The Wooley Law Firm previously reported a separate 18-wheeler jackknife crash on I-35E at Mayhill Road/State School Road in July. That crash blocked the northbound lanes and was unrelated to Wednesday morning's southbound collision. Injured in an I-35E Wreck in Denton?

Two adults were seriously injured after being struck by a vehicle in south Fort Worth early Saturday morning, September 19, 2026. Fort Worth Police said officers responded shortly after 12:30 a.m. to the 5700 block of Crowley Road for a reported hit-and-run. Officers found two adults who had been struck by a vehicle. Both were transported to a hospital in serious condition. Police identified the driver as 22-year-old Yoriel Cabrera. Cabrera has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and intoxication assault with a vehicle causing serious bodily injury. Those charges are allegations. Cabrera has not been convicted and is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. Police Say Driver Tried to Leave the Scene According to Fort Worth Police, Cabrera attempted to leave after the collision but was detained by another person before officers arrived. Police spokesperson Bradley Perez said Cabrera also had injuries, but Cabrera reportedly told officers those injuries resulted from an earlier incident involving people he had been playing pool with. Authorities had not publicly released a complete account explaining the events leading up to the vehicle striking the two victims. Two Adults Hospitalized With Serious Injuries Police said both people struck by the vehicle suffered serious injuries and were taken to a hospital. One of the injured victims has previously been identified in local reporting as Tiffany Chapman, who described suffering significant injuries, including broken legs, a collapsed lung, and a broken rib. The publicly available reports did not provide the same level of medical detail concerning the second injured person. What Evidence May Matter in the Investigation? Because police have alleged intoxication and aggravated assault, investigators may examine more than the mechanics of an ordinary pedestrian collision. Potentially important evidence may include: surveillance footage from nearby businesses; cell phone video; police body-camera footage; 911 recordings; witness statements; toxicology evidence; vehicle event-data recorder information; photographs and measurements from the scene; damage to the vehicle; statements made by the driver and witnesses; and records showing what occurred before the collision. Video evidence may be especially important in determining where the victims and vehicle were located, how the vehicle was being operated, and what happened immediately before impact. Criminal Charges and Civil Injury Claims Are Separate The criminal charges filed against Cabrera are separate from any civil personal injury claims arising from the incident. A criminal prosecution focuses on whether prosecutors can prove a charged offense beyond a reasonable doubt. A civil injury claim focuses on whether another person's conduct caused injuries and damages. Depending on the facts, recoverable damages in a serious pedestrian case may include medical expenses, lost income, physical impairment, disfigurement, pain, and other losses recognized under Texas law. A criminal conviction is not necessarily required before an injured person can pursue a civil claim. Serious Pedestrian Injuries Can Occur Outside a Traditional Roadway Pedestrian crashes are not limited to crosswalks and highways. Parking lots, business entrances, and commercial areas can also create serious risks when a vehicle strikes someone on foot. Pedestrians have no seat belt, airbag, or vehicle structure to absorb the force of impact. The Wooley Law Firm represents people injured in pedestrian crashes throughout Dallas-Fort Worth and Texas.

A major wreck was reported on westbound State Highway 114 at Walnut Hill Lane in Irving late Saturday morning, September 26, 2026. According to the traffic information provided, the collision was reported at approximately 10:30 a.m. The two left westbound lanes were closed while emergency crews responded. Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or explain what caused the collision. Two Left Lanes Closed on Westbound SH 114 The wreck affected westbound traffic on SH 114 near Walnut Hill Lane in Irving. TxDOT identifies Walnut Hill Lane as an access point along the SH 114 corridor through Irving and Las Colinas. With two left lanes blocked, motorists approaching the crash scene could encounter backups, sudden braking, emergency vehicles, and drivers merging into the remaining open lanes. The “major” designation associated with the traffic alert describes the traffic incident and does not by itself establish the severity of anyone's injuries. What Evidence May Matter After an SH 114 Crash? If someone was seriously injured, evidence gathered shortly after the collision may help determine how the wreck occurred. Potentially important evidence may include: TxDOT traffic-camera footage; dashcam recordings; nearby surveillance video; Irving Police crash reports; witness statements; photographs and videos from the scene; vehicle event-data recorder information; roadway debris and tire marks; and vehicle damage and final resting positions. Video and electronic vehicle data can be particularly useful in a multi-lane highway collision because they may show lane changes, braking, congestion, and the movements of the vehicles immediately before impact.
