Wooley Law Takeaway
A major collision was reported on southbound I-35E at I-635 in the Farmers Branch area of Dallas County early Sunday morning, August 23, 2026.
According to the TxDOT traffic information provided, the crash was verified at approximately 6:34 a.m. The lane diagram shows that the two right travel lanes and the right shoulder were closed, while the left travel lane, left shoulder, and exit lane remained open.
Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or explain what caused the collision.
Two Southbound I-35E Lanes Closed at I-635
The I-35E/I-635 interchange is a major Dallas County traffic junction. TxDOT identifies the interchange as part of an improvement corridor extending through Farmers Branch and surrounding areas.
With two travel lanes and the shoulder blocked, drivers traveling southbound on I-35E could encounter significant slowing and congestion as traffic merged into the remaining open lane.
Motorists approaching I-635 should watch for emergency vehicles, sudden braking, and changing traffic conditions near the crash scene.
What Caused the I-35E Crash?
The cause of the collision has not been confirmed.
Because the available information is limited, it would be premature to attribute the wreck to speeding, distraction, unsafe lane changes, following too closely, impairment, or another particular cause.
If the crash resulted in injuries, investigators may examine roadway evidence, vehicle damage, dashcam recordings, traffic-camera footage, witness statements, and vehicle event data to determine how the collision occurred.
Evidence After a Serious Farmers Branch Highway Crash
Objective evidence can become especially important after a freeway collision where several lanes are affected.
Potential evidence may include photographs from the scene, video from passing motorists, nearby surveillance footage, police and EMS records, electronic vehicle data, and statements from witnesses who saw the crash or the events immediately beforehand.
The Wooley Law Firm has previously reported on other serious crashes in this area, including a westbound I-635 crash at Webb Chapel Road in Farmers Branch.
The firm also represents people injured in Dallas-area car accidents.
