Wooley Law Takeaway

A major crash was reported on westbound Interstate 635 at Skillman Street in Dallas, near the Garland city limits, around 3:30 p.m. on August 3, 2026.

According to TxDOT, the collision closed the three right lanes and the shoulder while police officers, firefighters, EMS personnel, and other emergency responders worked at the scene. The lane closures caused significant traffic delays for motorists traveling through one of the busiest sections of the LBJ Freeway during the afternoon commute.

Authorities have not released information regarding the number of vehicles involved, whether anyone was injured, or what caused the collision. The crash remains under investigation.

Major crashes on Interstate 635 frequently create lengthy traffic backups and increase the risk of secondary collisions because of heavy commuter traffic, high travel speeds, and frequent lane changes. A prompt investigation is important to preserve critical evidence, including the police crash report, witness statements, dash-camera footage, nearby surveillance video, vehicle event data recorder (EDR) information, cell phone records when appropriate, photographs of the scene, and accident reconstruction evidence. If a commercial vehicle was involved, investigators should also preserve electronic logging device (ELD) data, engine control module (ECM) information, driver qualification files, maintenance and inspection records, dispatch communications, onboard camera footage, and cargo documentation.
