Crash on I-820 in North Richland Hills

A critical collision was reported on southbound I-35 at US 380 in Denton around 12:35 p.m. Tuesday, September 22, 2026. According to the traffic information provided, the wreck blocked nearly the entire southbound roadway, with only the right shoulder open while emergency crews responded. Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm the number or severity of injuries, or explain what caused the collision. The “critical” designation is a traffic-incident classification and should not by itself be interpreted as confirmation that someone suffered critical injuries. Southbound I-35 Heavily Blocked at US 380 The wreck occurred at one of Denton’s major highway intersections, where I-35 meets US 380/University Drive. With the regular southbound travel lanes blocked and traffic limited to the right shoulder, motorists approaching the scene could encounter severe congestion, emergency vehicles, sudden braking, and vehicles attempting to merge around the closure. The Wooley Law Firm previously reported another major collision on I-35 at US 380 in Denton in June. That was a separate incident. What Evidence May Matter After a Serious I-35 Crash? If the wreck resulted in serious injuries, investigators may need to determine the sequence of events leading up to the collision. Potentially important evidence may include: TxDOT traffic-camera footage; dashcam recordings; police crash reports; witness statements; photographs and videos from the scene; vehicle event-data recorder information; roadway debris and tire marks; vehicle damage patterns; and final vehicle positions. That evidence can help determine whether a vehicle changed lanes, traffic slowed unexpectedly, a driver failed to maintain a safe following distance, or another event contributed to the crash.

A crash was reported on southbound US 75 at Churchill Way in Dallas, just south of I-635/LBJ Freeway, during the Tuesday morning commute on September 22, 2026. According to the traffic information provided, the wreck was reported at approximately 8:50 a.m. The left southbound lane and left shoulder were closed while crews responded. Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or explain what caused the collision. Left Lane and Shoulder Closed on Southbound US 75 The crash affected southbound traffic on US 75/North Central Expressway immediately south of the I-635 interchange. With the left lane and shoulder blocked during morning traffic, drivers approaching the scene could encounter backups, sudden braking, emergency vehicles, and motorists merging into the remaining lanes. Because the circumstances remain preliminary, it would be premature to determine whether speed, distraction, following too closely, an unsafe lane change, or another factor contributed to the wreck. Evidence After a US 75 Crash If someone was seriously injured, potentially important evidence may include: TxDOT traffic-camera footage; dashcam recordings; nearby surveillance video; police crash reports; witness statements; photographs and videos from the scene; vehicle event-data recorder information; roadway debris and tire marks; and vehicle damage and final resting positions. Video evidence can be especially useful on a busy freeway such as US 75 because it may show lane changes, braking, congestion, and the movements of the vehicles immediately before impact. Other Recent US 75 Crashes in Dallas The Wooley Law Firm has recently reported on several other crashes along this corridor, including a southbound US 75 crash at Haskell Avenue and a separate US 75 crash near the I-635 interchange.

A major collision was reported on westbound US 80 at Belt Line Road in Mesquite at approximately 7:00 a.m. Tuesday, September 22, 2026. According to the traffic alert provided, the crash was verified and one westbound travel lane was closed while emergency crews responded. The remaining westbound lane and nearby shoulder/ramp areas were shown open. Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or explain what caused the wreck. One Westbound Lane Closed at Belt Line Road The collision affected westbound traffic on US 80 near Belt Line Road in Mesquite during the Tuesday morning commute. US 80 is a major east-west corridor through Mesquite, and Belt Line Road is one of the significant interchanges along that stretch. TxDOT and the City of Mesquite have also identified US 80 between Town East Boulevard and Belt Line Road as part of a major reconstruction corridor. With a travel lane blocked during morning traffic, motorists approaching the scene could encounter backups, sudden braking, emergency vehicles, and drivers merging into the remaining open lane. Because information remains preliminary, it would be premature to determine whether speed, distraction, following distance, an unsafe lane change, or another factor contributed to the collision. Evidence After a US 80 Crash in Mesquite If someone was seriously injured, potentially important evidence may include: TxDOT traffic-camera footage; dashcam video; nearby business surveillance footage; police crash reports; witness statements; photographs and videos from the scene; vehicle event-data recorder information; roadway debris and tire marks; and vehicle damage and final resting positions. This type of evidence may help establish how the vehicles were moving immediately before impact and whether one driver changed lanes, braked suddenly, or failed to react to slowing traffic.
