The collision was verified at approximately 6:33 a.m. The traffic diagram shows two southbound travel lanes closed, while other southbound lanes and the nearby ramp remained open.
Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or explain what caused the wreck.
Southbound Loop 12 Crash at Northwest Highway
The crash affected traffic on Loop 12 near Northwest Highway in Dallas, a heavily traveled corridor connecting northwest Dallas with Irving and other parts of the city.
With two travel lanes blocked during the morning commute, drivers could encounter backups, emergency vehicles, and traffic merging around the crash scene.
Because information remains preliminary, it would be premature to determine whether speed, distraction, following too closely, an unsafe lane change, or another factor contributed.
