Wooley Law Takeaway

A major collision was reported on southbound Interstate 35E at Valley View Lane in Farmers Branch, Texas, around 9:00 a.m. on June 22, 2026.

The crash reportedly caused the entrance to the express lanes to close during the morning commute.

Crashes on I-35E in Farmers Branch can be especially dangerous because of heavy commuter traffic, merging vehicles, express lane access points, commercial trucks, and drivers changing lanes to enter or avoid managed lanes. When an express lane entrance is blocked, traffic can back up quickly and create a greater risk of secondary crashes, rear-end collisions, sideswipe impacts, and multi-vehicle wrecks.

A major freeway crash should be investigated carefully to determine what caused the collision. Key questions may include whether a driver was speeding, distracted, following too closely, making an unsafe lane change, failing to yield, driving aggressively, or failing to adjust for traffic near the express lane entrance. If a commercial vehicle was involved, additional evidence may include driver logs, black box data, dash camera footage, inspection records, and company safety policies.

Evidence can disappear quickly after a Dallas County freeway accident. Traffic camera footage may be overwritten, vehicles may be repaired or destroyed, and witnesses may become difficult to locate. Important evidence may include the police crash report, witness statements, highway camera footage, dash camera video, vehicle damage, skid marks, cell phone records, medical records, and photos or videos from the scene.

For injured drivers and passengers, the aftermath of a major I-35E crash can be overwhelming. Medical bills, missed work, vehicle damage, pain, and insurance disputes can create serious pressure. Insurance companies may try to blame the victim, minimize injuries, or delay payment. That is why it is important to understand your rights after a serious crash.
