Wooley Law Takeaway

A motorcyclist was killed in a crash on southbound North Central Expressway near I-635 in Dallas. According to reports, the crash happened on May 12, 2026, at approximately 9:16 p.m. in the 13700 block of southbound North Central Expressway. Dallas Police and Fire-Rescue responded to the scene and found that a man operating a motorcycle had collided with a concrete barrier and traffic attenuator before falling into the roadway. He was then struck by another vehicle and died at the scene. The other driver remained at the crash scene while investigators responded. Fatal motorcycle crashes require a thorough investigation to determine what happened and whether the collision could have been prevented. A Dallas motorcycle accident lawyer can review whether roadway design, visibility, lighting, speed, distraction, impairment, road debris, barrier placement, traffic attenuator condition, vehicle spacing, or another factor contributed to the crash. Important evidence can disappear quickly after a deadly motorcycle accident. Police reports, crash scene photographs, motorcycle damage, vehicle damage, roadway evidence, barrier and attenuator damage, traffic camera footage, dashcam video, witness statements, 911 calls, medical records, toxicology results, and crash reconstruction evidence may all be critical to determining fault and protecting a family’s legal rights. If your loved one was killed in a Dallas motorcycle accident, North Central Expressway crash, I-635-area collision, LBJ Freeway-area wreck, or North Texas fatal motorcycle crash, your family may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and other damages through a wrongful death claim.

20-Year-Old Dies After TEXRail Train Crash in Fort Worth

A 20-year-old man died after a crash involving a TEXRail train in Fort Worth. According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the crash happened on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, in the 3800 block of North Sylvania Avenue near East Long Avenue, between the Northside and Mercantile Center TEXRail stations. Crews initially responded around 11 a.m. after a vehicle was struck by a TEXRail train. The victim, identified as Harrison William Bradford, died after midnight Friday at John Peter Smith Hospital, according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office. Trinity Metro officials said rail infrastructure was damaged in the crash, causing several hours of repairs and delays to TEXRail service. Train and vehicle crashes require a thorough investigation. A Texas wrongful death lawyer can review whether crossing signals, gates, train horn use, sightlines, roadway design, train speed, driver visibility, rail infrastructure, or another preventable factor contributed to the collision. Train crash evidence can disappear quickly. Event recorder data, crossing signal records, train camera footage, vehicle damage, crash scene photos, roadway measurements, witness statements, police reports, medical records, and rail company investigation findings may all be critical to determining what happened and who may be responsible. If your loved one was killed in a Fort Worth train crash, TEXRail collision, North Sylvania Avenue accident, or Texas wrongful death case involving a vehicle and train, your family may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for funeral expenses, medical bills, lost financial support, mental anguish, loss of companionship, and other damages.

Midland Teen Killed, Four Critically Injured in Overnight Incident

A Midland teen was killed and four other people were critically injured in an overnight incident reported on June 1, 2026. According to KWTX, authorities were investigating after the incident left one person dead and four others with critical injuries.

Incidents involving a death and multiple critical injuries can raise serious legal questions for victims and families.
