Westbound I-20 Crash at Haymarket Road Near Balch Springs

The collision affected traffic on I-20 near Haymarket Road in southeast Dallas, close to Balch Springs.

With the left lane and shoulder blocked, drivers traveling west toward Dallas, Mesquite, and other parts of southern Dallas County could encounter backups and traffic merging away from the crash scene.

Multi-Vehicle Crash Closes Lanes on US 287 in the Texas Panhandle - Car Accidents

Multi-Vehicle Crash Closes Lanes on US 287 in the Texas Panhandle

A multi-vehicle crash on US 287 in the Texas Panhandle closed lanes while emergency crews responded. According to TxDOT information cited in local reporting, the wreck involved multiple vehicles and caused traffic restrictions along US 287. Early information did not clearly establish the number and type of vehicles involved, whether anyone was seriously injured, or what caused the collision. US 287 Multi-Vehicle Wreck Causes Lane Closures US 287 is a major north-south route through the Texas Panhandle and carries a significant amount of passenger and commercial traffic. A multi-vehicle collision on a highway like US 287 can quickly create additional hazards as approaching drivers encounter stopped traffic, emergency vehicles, debris, and sudden lane changes around the crash scene. Until investigators release additional information, it would be premature to determine whether speed, distraction, following distance, an unsafe lane change, or another factor contributed to the wreck. Determining Who Caused a Multi-Vehicle Crash Liability in a multi-vehicle collision often depends on reconstructing the entire sequence of impacts. The vehicle that physically struck an injured person may not necessarily be the vehicle that started the crash. Investigators may need to determine which impact happened first, whether a driver lost control, whether one vehicle forced another out of its lane, and whether later drivers had enough time to avoid the developing wreck. Evidence After a US 287 Multi-Vehicle Crash Important evidence may include: TxDOT or highway traffic-camera footage Dashcam recordings Witness statements Police and DPS crash reports Vehicle event-data recorder information Photographs and videos from the scene Tire marks and roadway debris Final vehicle positions Cell-phone records when legally relevant Commercial vehicle records if a truck was involved Electronic and video evidence can sometimes be overwritten or lost, making early preservation important after a serious highway collision. The Wooley Law Firm represents people injured in Texas car accidents and serious 18-wheeler and commercial truck wrecks throughout Texas. Injured in a Multi-Vehicle Crash on US 287? If you were injured in a US 287 accident, Texas Panhandle multi-vehicle wreck, chain-reaction crash, or another serious Texas highway collision, you may have the right to pursue compensation if another driver or company was legally responsible. An attorney can investigate the sequence of impacts, obtain electronic vehicle data, locate video evidence, interview witnesses, and identify the insurance policies that may apply.
