Wooley Law Takeaway

A major crash was reported on southbound Interstate 35E at Northwest Highway in Dallas around 9:15 a.m. on July 17, 2026.

According to TxDOT, the crash closed the two left lanes and the left shoulder as police, firefighters, and EMS responded to the scene. Drivers experienced significant delays through the area while emergency crews worked to clear the crash.

At this time, officials have not released information regarding the number of vehicles involved, whether anyone was injured, or what caused the collision.

Major crashes on I-35E frequently involve high traffic volumes, sudden slowdowns, and commercial vehicles, increasing the risk of chain-reaction collisions and catastrophic injuries. A thorough investigation should preserve critical evidence, including the crash report, witness statements, dash camera footage, nearby surveillance video, vehicle data, cell phone records, and photographs from the scene. If a commercial vehicle was involved, additional evidence such as electronic logging device (ELD) data, maintenance records, and driver qualification files may also be important.

18-Wheeler Jackknifes on Northbound I-35E in Denton

An 18-wheeler jackknifed across all northbound lanes of I-35E at Mayhill Road/State School Road in Denton around 7:25 a.m. on July 13, 2026. According to TxDOT, the crash blocked all northbound lanes while emergency crews worked to clear the scene and restore traffic. Additional details about injuries, the number of vehicles involved, and what caused the truck to jackknife have not yet been released. Jackknife crashes involving 18-wheelers can be extremely dangerous because the trailer may swing across multiple lanes of traffic, leaving surrounding drivers with little time or space to avoid a collision. These crashes may result from sudden braking, excessive speed, equipment failure, poor weather, shifting cargo, or driver error. A serious Denton truck crash should be investigated quickly. Key evidence may include the crash report, witness statements, dash camera footage, black box data, driver logs, maintenance and inspection records, cargo records, cell phone records, vehicle damage, and photos or videos from the scene.

Semi-Truck Crashes Into Tree Line in Gregg County, Causing Traffic Delays

A semi-truck crashed into a tree line in Gregg County on Wednesday, June 11, 2026, causing traffic delays and prompting an emergency response. According to CBS19, authorities advised motorists to expect delays in the area while first responders worked the scene and investigated the crash. Early reports did not indicate the extent of any injuries or what caused the semi-truck to leave the roadway. Semi-truck crashes involving departures from the roadway can raise important questions about driver fatigue, distraction, mechanical failures, roadway conditions, medical emergencies, cargo shifts, weather conditions, and company safety practices. Investigators may need to review driver logs, electronic logging device data, maintenance records, inspection reports, dashcam footage, witness statements, crash scene measurements, and event data from the truck to determine what caused the collision. If you were injured in a Gregg County truck accident, semi-truck crash, roadway departure collision, or serious commercial vehicle 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.

A major collision involving an 18-wheeler was reported around 8:40 a.m. on June 9, 2026, on southbound US 287 at Bonds Ranch Road in Fort Worth near Haslet. The left lane and shoulder were closed while emergency crews responded to the crash scene. Early details did not confirm the number of vehicles involved or whether injuries were reported.

Investigators may need to determine whether speed, following distance, unsafe lane changes, distraction, driver fatigue, braking, blind spots, truck maintenance, cargo issues, or company safety practices contributed to the collision. Evidence such as dashcam footage, traffic camera video, witness statements, vehicle damage, electronic logging data, inspection records, maintenance records, and the truck’s event data may be important in determining what happened. If you were injured in a Fort Worth 18-wheeler crash, US 287 collision, Bonds Ranch Road wreck, Haslet-area truck accident, or serious commercial vehicle crash, 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.
