Wooley Law Takeaway

A major collision on US 175 at FM 1389 was affecting traffic in both directions early Wednesday morning, October 14, 2026.

Traffic information showed the crash affecting westbound US 175 at approximately 6:48 a.m. and eastbound US 175 at approximately 6:49 a.m.

On the westbound side, the left shoulder was closed. On the eastbound side, the left shoulder and left lane were closed while emergency crews responded.

Because the incidents were reported at the same location within approximately one minute of each other, they appear to be part of the same collision affecting both directions of US 175, rather than two separate wrecks.

Additional information about the vehicles involved and possible injuries has not yet been released.

What Happened in the US 175 Crash at FM 1389?

The collision occurred near US 175 and FM 1389 and was classified as a major wreck.

The crash affected both eastbound and westbound traffic. It is not yet clear whether a vehicle crossed the median, debris entered the opposite side of the highway, or emergency operations required lane closures in both directions.

Until authorities release more information, the precise sequence of events remains unknown.

Evidence That May Matter After a Major Highway Crash

When a wreck affects both directions of a divided highway, investigators may examine:

  • Dash-camera footage

  • Traffic or surveillance-camera video

  • Crash-scene photographs

  • Vehicle damage and final resting positions

  • Median and roadside evidence

  • Tire marks and roadway debris

  • Witness statements

  • Electronic vehicle data

  • The investigating officer’s crash report

This evidence may help determine whether the collision began in one direction of travel and subsequently affected the opposite side of the highway.
