Serious I-30 Crashes in Dallas Require Careful Investigation
I-30 is one of the major freeway corridors carrying traffic through Dallas, and collisions approaching downtown can quickly create substantial congestion.
When someone is seriously injured in an I-30 wreck, investigators may need to preserve evidence such as:
Dashcam footage
TxDOT or other traffic-camera video
Witness statements
Photographs from the crash scene
Vehicle event data recorder information
Speed and braking data
Roadway debris and tire marks
Cell-phone records when legally relevant
Police and emergency-response records
Depending on the evidence, investigators may examine whether distracted driving, excessive speed for traffic conditions, following too closely, unsafe lane changes, sudden congestion, or commercial vehicle involvement contributed to the collision.
The Wooley Law Firm has previously reported on serious I-30 crashes in Dallas. That incident involved different circumstances, but it provides additional information concerning serious and fatal collisions along the I-30 corridor.
