Westbound Interstate 20 was closed at I-45 in Dallas after multiple crashes involving semi-trucks and a Dallas Fire-Rescue truck. According to reports, Dallas firefighters were first called to westbound I-20 around 12:40 p.m. Saturday for a major crash over I-45 involving two to three semi-trucks. About an hour later, while Dallas Fire-Rescue crews were still at the scene, a fire engine was struck by another vehicle. Dallas Fire-Rescue said no injuries were reported from either crash, and the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office said icy conditions contributed to the incident. Crashes involving semi-trucks, emergency vehicles, and icy roadway conditions require a thorough investigation, even when injuries are not immediately reported. A Texas truck accident lawyer can review whether speed, following distance, driver distraction, fatigue, unsafe operation for weather conditions, truck maintenance, brake issues, roadway treatment, traffic control, or another preventable factor contributed to the crash. Important evidence can disappear quickly after a serious commercial vehicle crash. Black box data, driver logs, inspection records, maintenance records, dashcam footage, fire truck camera footage, vehicle damage, crash scene photos, roadway condition evidence, witness statements, police reports, weather records, 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 semi-truck accident, I-20 crash, I-45 interchange collision, Dallas Fire-Rescue vehicle crash, or Texas commercial vehicle wreck, you may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, property damage, and other damages.

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.

Truck Rollover on Loop 289 Causes Major Traffic Delays in Lubbock

A truck rollover on Loop 289 in Lubbock caused major traffic disruptions and prompted an emergency response. According to EverythingLubbock.com, the rollover crash blocked portions of the roadway while first responders worked to assist those involved and clear the scene. Authorities advised motorists to expect delays as crews investigated the circumstances surrounding the incident and removed the overturned truck. Truck rollover accidents can occur for many reasons, including excessive speed, shifting cargo, equipment failures, tire blowouts, driver fatigue, distraction, impairment, or roadway design issues. Because commercial trucks carry significant weight and can create widespread hazards when overturned, investigators often review driver logs, maintenance records, cargo securement procedures, witness statements, crash scene evidence, dashcam footage, and electronic vehicle data to determine what caused the rollover. If you were injured in a Lubbock truck accident, Loop 289 rollover crash, commercial vehicle collision, or serious roadway wreck, you may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, mental anguish, impairment, disfigurement, and other damages. If a loved one was killed in a truck-related crash, your family may also have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. Call (214) 699-6524 for a free consultation. You don’t pay unless we win.

18-Wheeler Crash Scatters Cinder Blocks Across Mueschke Road in Harris County

An 18-wheeler crash shut down Mueschke Road in both directions south of FM 2920 in northwest Harris County. According to ABC13, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said an 18-wheeler was unloading cinder blocks when it was hit by another vehicle, causing the load to scatter across the roadway. Deputies said the crash was later cleared and the road reopened. Crashes involving lost loads and scattered cargo can create serious hazards for nearby drivers, pedestrians, workers, and first responders. Investigators may need to determine whether the 18-wheeler was legally and safely stopped, whether proper warning devices were used, whether the cargo was properly secured, whether the other driver was speeding or distracted, and whether loading, unloading, traffic control, or company safety practices contributed to the crash. Evidence such as witness statements, dashcam footage, surveillance video, vehicle damage, cargo records, roadway debris, driver logs, and company safety policies may be important in determining what happened. If you were injured in a Harris County 18-wheeler crash, Mueschke Road collision, FM 2920 wreck, or lost-load 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.
