I-35E Crash at Mayhill Road in Denton Closes Two Lanes

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 traffic accident investigation shut down the right-hand northbound lane of I-35 and the northbound frontage road between Highway 29 and Williams Drive in Georgetown on Wednesday, September 23, 2026. Drivers traveling through the area were advised to expect delays while law enforcement investigated the crash scene. Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or explain what caused the wreck. Northbound I-35 and Frontage Road Affected The closure affected northbound traffic along I-35 between Highway 29 and Williams Drive, a major Georgetown corridor. The right-hand main lane was closed, and the northbound frontage road was also shut down while the accident investigation continued. With both the main lanes and frontage road affected, motorists approaching the area could encounter congestion and limited options for getting around the scene. TxDOT identifies this portion of I-35 as part of the Georgetown corridor between SH 29 and the Williams Drive area. What Evidence May Matter After a Serious I-35 Crash? When law enforcement closes multiple portions of a highway for an accident investigation, investigators may need time to document the roadway and reconstruct what happened. Potentially important evidence may include: TxDOT traffic-camera footage; dashcam video; nearby surveillance recordings; police crash reports; witness statements; vehicle event-data recorder information; photographs and measurements from the scene; roadway debris and tire marks; and vehicle damage and final resting positions. That evidence can help determine vehicle movements, braking, lane position, speed, and the sequence of events leading up to the collision. Why a Frontage Road Closure Can Matter When both an interstate lane and frontage road are closed, investigators may be examining a crash that affected more than one part of the roadway system. Depending on the circumstances, a collision near an interchange or frontage road can involve vehicles entering or exiting the highway, merging traffic, or secondary impacts. At this point, there is not enough verified information to determine whether any of those factors were involved in the September 23 Georgetown wreck. Injured in an I-35 Crash in Texas?

A wreck was reported on eastbound I-20 at Campus Drive in Fort Worth during the Wednesday morning commute on September 23, 2026. According to the traffic information provided, the collision was reported at approximately 8:07 a.m. Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or indicate how many lanes were affected. Campus Drive crosses I-20 in south Fort Worth. TxDOT records identify Campus Drive as part of the Fort Worth roadway network south of I-20. Morning Crash on Eastbound I-20 at Campus Drive The collision affected eastbound traffic on I-20 near Campus Drive, a heavily traveled corridor through south Fort Worth. Morning crashes on I-20 can quickly create backups as drivers approach stopped traffic, merge around disabled vehicles, and encounter emergency responders working near active lanes. Because details remain limited, it would be premature to determine whether speed, distraction, following distance, an unsafe lane change, or another factor contributed to the wreck. Evidence After an I-20 Crash If someone was seriously injured, potentially important evidence may include: TxDOT traffic-camera footage; dashcam video; nearby surveillance recordings; 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 help investigators determine how traffic was moving and what each vehicle was doing immediately before impact. Other I-20 Crashes at Campus Drive The Wooley Law Firm previously reported another major I-20 collision at Campus Drive in Fort Worth in June 2026.
