The incident was classified as a major collision on westbound SH 114 at the Bush Turnpike.

At this time, it is not known how many vehicles were involved or what caused the wreck. With three lanes blocked during the morning commute, drivers traveling through Irving could experience substantial delays until the crash scene is cleared.

Evidence That May Matter After a Major Highway Crash

Potentially important evidence may include:

  • Dash-camera footage

  • Traffic or surveillance-camera video

  • Crash-scene photographs

  • Vehicle damage and final resting positions

  • Witness statements

  • Electronic vehicle data

  • Roadway debris and tire marks

  • Cellphone records when relevant
