Major Crash on Northbound I-635 at Quail Drive in Balch Springs

A major collision was reported on westbound State Highway 183 at SH 114 in Irving early Thursday morning, September 17, 2026. According to the traffic information provided, the crash was verified at approximately 6:16 a.m. The lane diagram shows two westbound travel lanes closed while emergency crews responded, with the remaining lanes and adjacent roadway access still open. Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or explain what caused the collision. Two Lanes Closed After SH 183 Crash at SH 114 The wreck occurred near the large SH 183/SH 114 interchange in Irving, part of a major highway system connecting Dallas, Irving, Las Colinas, and the DFW Airport area. TxDOT identifies SH 183 and SH 114 as part of the Irving Interchange, which also includes Loop 12 and Spur 482. With two lanes blocked during the morning commute, drivers approaching the crash could encounter congestion, emergency vehicles, sudden braking, and motorists merging into the remaining open lanes. Because information about the wreck remains preliminary, it would be premature to determine whether speeding, distraction, following too closely, an unsafe lane change, or another factor contributed. Crashes Around the SH 183 and SH 114 Interchange The SH 183 corridor through Irving carries substantial commuter, airport, and commercial traffic. The Wooley Law Firm has recently reported several other crashes along SH 183 in Irving, including a major crash at Loop 12 on September 16⁠, another major SH 183 crash at Loop 12 on September 11⁠, and an 18-wheeler wreck in the SH 183 express lanes at SH 161⁠. These are separate incidents and are not known to be related. Evidence After an Irving Highway Crash When someone is injured in a major freeway collision, potentially important evidence may include: TxDOT traffic-camera footage; dashcam recordings; nearby business or roadway surveillance video; police crash reports; witness statements; photographs from the scene; vehicle event-data recorder information; vehicle damage patterns; roadway debris and tire marks; and the final positions of the vehicles. Video can be especially helpful in a crash near a major interchange because it may show lane changes, merging vehicles, braking, or traffic conditions immediately before impact.

A major collision was reported on southbound US 67 at Gifco Road in Midlothian early Thursday morning, September 17, 2026. According to the traffic alert provided, the crash was verified at approximately 6:18 a.m. The lane diagram shows that two right-side lanes were closed, while the remaining southbound lanes stayed open. Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or explain what caused the collision. Two Lanes Closed After US 67 Crash at Gifco Road Gifco Road intersects the US 67 corridor in Midlothian, Ellis County. City planning records specifically identify the intersection of Gifco Road and the southbound US 67 frontage road in Midlothian. With two lanes blocked during the morning commute, motorists approaching the crash could encounter slowing traffic, emergency vehicles, and drivers merging into the remaining open lanes. Because the circumstances remain preliminary, it would be premature to determine whether speeding, distracted driving, following too closely, an unsafe lane change, or another factor contributed to the collision. US 67 Is an Important Midlothian Traffic Corridor US 67 serves as a major route connecting Midlothian with Cedar Hill, Duncanville, Dallas, and communities farther south. The Gifco Road interchange is located along the northern portion of Midlothian. Transportation planning records for the area have discussed traffic growth and improvements around the Gifco Road/US 67 intersection, including concerns about increased truck and large-vehicle traffic. Those planning issues do not establish anything about the cause of Thursday’s wreck, but they provide context for the amount and mix of traffic using this part of US 67. Evidence After a Serious US 67 Crash If injuries are confirmed, potentially important evidence may include: TxDOT traffic-camera footage; dashcam recordings; nearby surveillance video; crash-scene photographs; witness statements; police crash reports; vehicle event-data recorder information; roadway debris and tire marks; and the final positions and damage patterns of the vehicles. US 67 has traffic-camera coverage near Gifco Road, which could become relevant depending on whether recordings were preserved. Injured in a US 67 Wreck in Midlothian?

A major wreck was reported on northbound I-35W at FM 1171 in Northlake during the Wednesday afternoon commute on September 16, 2026. According to the traffic information provided, the collision was reported at approximately 4:20 p.m. The crash caused a significant roadway blockage, with only the right shoulder remaining open while emergency crews responded. Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or explain what caused the collision. Major I-35W Crash Blocks Nearly All Northbound Lanes The wreck occurred near the interchange of I-35W and FM 1171/Cross Timbers Road in Denton County. FM 1171 meets I-35W in Northlake before continuing east through Flower Mound and Lewisville. With nearly the entire northbound roadway blocked, drivers approaching the scene could encounter substantial congestion, sudden braking, emergency vehicles, and motorists attempting to move onto the shoulder or toward alternate routes. Because information about the crash remains preliminary, it would be premature to determine whether speeding, distracted driving, following too closely, an unsafe lane change, traffic congestion, or another factor contributed to the wreck. I-35W and FM 1171 Have Seen Serious Traffic Incidents Before The I-35W/FM 1171 interchange has been the site of other major traffic incidents. In August 2025, an 18-wheeler struck the FM 1171 bridge over I-35W in Northlake, forcing a lengthy closure while crews responded and TxDOT inspected the bridge. That incident was separate from Wednesday's crash and is not known to be related. The Wooley Law Firm has also reported on other recent serious crashes along I-35W throughout North Texas, including wrecks in Fort Worth, Burleson, and near Alvarado. Evidence After a Major Highway Collision When a wreck closes most of an interstate, investigators may need to reconstruct how the collision occurred and what each vehicle was doing before impact. Potentially important evidence can include: TxDOT traffic-camera footage; dashcam recordings; nearby surveillance video; photographs and videos from the crash scene; police crash reports; witness statements; vehicle event-data recorder information; cell phone records when relevant; roadway debris and tire marks; and the final positions and damage patterns of the vehicles. Video evidence can be particularly important when a collision occurs on a high-speed interstate because it may show lane changes, braking, congestion, or the sequence of impacts.
