Wooley Law Takeaway

A collision was reported on southbound I-35E at McCormick Street in Denton on Tuesday afternoon, September 29, 2026.

According to the traffic information provided, the wreck was reported at approximately 4:00 p.m. The right southbound travel lane was closed while crews responded.

Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or explain what caused the crash.

Right Lane Closed on Southbound I-35E

The collision affected southbound I-35E near McCormick Street in Denton. TxDOT planning records identify McCormick Street as an I-35E interchange in Denton, between Fort Worth Drive and North Texas Boulevard. Keep It Moving Dallas

With the right lane blocked during the afternoon commute, motorists approaching the scene could encounter congestion, emergency vehicles, sudden braking, and drivers merging into the remaining open lanes.

Because information remains preliminary, it would be premature to determine whether speed, distraction, following distance, an unsafe lane change, 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:

  • traffic-camera footage;

  • dashcam recordings;

  • nearby surveillance video;

  • police crash reports;

  • witness statements;

  • photographs and video from the scene;

  • vehicle event-data recorder information;

  • roadway debris and tire marks; and

  • vehicle damage and final resting positions.

Video evidence can be especially helpful on a freeway because it may show lane position, braking, traffic conditions, and the movements of vehicles immediately before impact.

Other Recent I-35E Crashes in Denton

The Wooley Law Firm has recently reported on other separate crashes along I-35E in Denton, including a major crash at Brinker Road. That September 4 collision occurred farther south and is unrelated to Tuesday afternoon's McCormick Street wreck. The Wooley Law Firm, PLLC

The firm has also reported on a critical I-35 crash at US 380 in Denton, another separate incident along the broader Denton interstate corridor. The Wooley Law Firm, PLLC

Why Lane Position Can Matter

When a freeway crash closes one lane, investigators may still need to determine where each vehicle was positioned before impact and whether any driver was changing lanes, merging, or reacting to slowing traffic.

Damage patterns, electronic vehicle data, witness accounts, and available video may help reconstruct the sequence.

The fact that the right lane was closed does not establish where the collision began or who caused it.
