Major I-635 Crash at I-35E in Farmers Branch Closes Two Lanes

Two critical collisions were reported at the US 80 and I-635 interchange in Mesquite during the Friday morning commute on September 25, 2026. The first crash was verified at approximately 5:36 a.m. on westbound US 80 at the ramp to southbound I-635. The traffic alert showed two westbound travel lanes closed while emergency crews responded. A second collision was then verified at approximately 6:06 a.m. on northbound I-635 at the westbound US 80 ramp. The traffic alert showed the northbound ramp lane closed. Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or explain what caused either collision. Both crashes were classified as “critical” traffic incidents. That designation describes the traffic impact and does not by itself establish that anyone suffered critical injuries. First Crash Closed Two Westbound US 80 Lanes The first collision affected westbound US 80 near the ramp to southbound I-635. According to the traffic alert, the crash was verified at 5:36 a.m. and closed two westbound travel lanes. The adjacent shoulder areas remained available. A collision near a major interchange can quickly create backups as approaching vehicles encounter stopped traffic, emergency responders, and drivers attempting to merge around blocked lanes. Second Crash Reported 30 Minutes Later on Northbound I-635 At approximately 6:06 a.m., a second critical collision was verified on northbound I-635 at the westbound US 80 ramp. The lane diagram for the second incident showed the ramp travel lane closed, while the adjoining shoulder areas remained open. The two traffic alerts identify different directions and ramp movements. Based on the currently available information, it is not clear whether the crashes were related or were separate incidents that happened at the same interchange. Could One Crash Have Contributed to the Other? Because the second collision was reported only about 30 minutes after the first and occurred at the same interchange, investigators may examine whether traffic congestion or backups from the earlier crash played any role. However, there is currently no verified information establishing a connection between the two incidents. Potentially important evidence could include: TxDOT traffic-camera footage; dashcam recordings; roadway surveillance video; police crash reports; witness statements; vehicle event-data recorder information; photographs and video from both scenes; roadway debris and tire marks; and traffic conditions between approximately 5:30 and 6:15 a.m. Video evidence could be especially useful in determining whether the second crash occurred within traffic affected by the first collision. US 80 and I-635 Is a Busy Mesquite Interchange The US 80/I-635 interchange is a major junction in Mesquite and is currently part of a TxDOT reconstruction project. There is no information indicating that construction caused either September 25 collision, but the interchange already involves merging traffic, ramps, and changing lane patterns.
