Wooley Law Takeaway

A major crash was reported on eastbound I-635 at Coit Road in Dallas on Saturday morning, August 29, 2026.

According to the TxDOT traffic information provided, the collision was verified at approximately 8:22 a.m. The lane diagram shows the three right travel lanes and right shoulder closed, while the remaining eastbound lanes and exit area remained open.

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

Multiple Lanes Closed After I-635 Crash at Coit Road

The collision affected eastbound traffic on I-635, also known as LBJ Freeway, near Coit Road in North Dallas.

With three travel lanes and the right shoulder blocked, motorists approaching the crash could encounter significant congestion, sudden braking, emergency vehicles, and drivers merging into the remaining open lanes.

Because information about the wreck remains preliminary, it would be premature to attribute the collision to speeding, distracted driving, following too closely, an unsafe lane change, or another particular cause.

Evidence After an I-635 Car Wreck in Dallas

When someone is injured in a serious highway collision, evidence gathered shortly after the crash may become important in determining how the wreck occurred.

Potentially important evidence may include:

  • Dashcam footage

  • TxDOT traffic-camera footage

  • Nearby business surveillance video

  • Photographs and videos from the crash scene

  • Witness statements

  • Dallas police crash reports

  • Vehicle event-data recorder information

  • Cell phone records when distracted driving is suspected

  • Vehicle damage, debris, and roadway evidence

Multi-Lane Closures Can Complicate an I-635 Crash Investigation

When a major wreck blocks several lanes of a freeway, investigators may need to determine whether the collision involved multiple vehicles or whether one impact caused vehicles to move across several lanes.

The final position of the vehicles does not always reveal how a crash started. Vehicle damage, event-data recorder information, witness accounts, dashcam footage, and traffic-camera recordings may help reconstruct the sequence of events.

This can become particularly important when drivers disagree about lane position, following distance, or whether a lane change occurred immediately before impact.

Recent I-635 Crashes in Dallas

The Wooley Law Firm has reported on other recent collisions along the I-635 corridor, including a major wreck on eastbound I-635 at Garland Road⁠ and a collision on westbound I-635 at Miller Road in Dallas⁠.

The firm has also reported on a major westbound I-635 crash that closed multiple lanes⁠.

These crashes involved different circumstances and are not known to be related, but they demonstrate how quickly a serious collision can disrupt traffic along LBJ Freeway.
