Semi-Truck Accident Starts Fire on U.S. Highway 75 in Sherman

A major collision involving an 18-wheeler caused a significant traffic backup on May 21, 2025, near the interchange of U.S. 67 and northbound I-35E. According to early reports, the crash involved a commercial truck and created heavy congestion as traffic slowed through the area. Officials had not immediately released details about injuries, the number of vehicles involved, or what caused the crash. Major truck crashes at highway interchanges can create serious hazards for drivers because of merging traffic, lane changes, limited reaction time, and the size and weight of commercial vehicles. Crashes involving 18-wheelers require a thorough investigation. A Texas truck accident lawyer can review whether driver fatigue, distraction, unsafe lane changes, following distance, speed, brake failure, tire failure, cargo issues, roadway design, or trucking company safety practices contributed to the collision. Truck accident evidence can disappear quickly. Black box data, driver logs, electronic logging records, inspection reports, maintenance records, dashcam footage, vehicle damage, roadway debris, crash scene photos, witness statements, police reports, and crash reconstruction evidence may all be critical to determining what happened and who may be responsible. If you or your loved one was injured in a Dallas 18-wheeler accident, U.S. 67 crash, I-35E truck collision, or Texas highway interchange wreck, you may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, future care needs, property damage, and other damages.

A woman died after a crash involving an SUV and an 18-wheeler in Bexar County on Friday afternoon, June 5, 2026. According to MySA, deputies responded to the 2000 block of Talley Road, just east of Highway 211. Investigators said the SUV driver was attempting to cross Talley Road and continue east on Tillman Ridge when an 18-wheeler traveling south on Talley Road struck the SUV. MySA reported that rear passenger Katelyn Carreno was hospitalized in critical condition and later died from her injuries. Three other SUV occupants were hospitalized and later stabilized. Crashes involving SUVs and 18-wheelers can be devastating because passenger vehicles offer little protection against the size and weight of a commercial truck. Investigators may need to examine right-of-way, sightlines, speed, braking distance, driver attention, roadway design, traffic control devices, truck maintenance, driver logs, witness statements, vehicle damage, crash scene measurements, and event data from both vehicles. Even when early reports say criminal charges are not expected, a civil investigation may still be needed to determine whether negligence or unsafe conditions contributed to the crash. If you lost a loved one in a Bexar County 18-wheeler crash, Talley Road collision, Highway 211-area wreck, or fatal SUV accident, you may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, mental anguish, lost financial support, and other damages. If you were injured, you may also have the right to pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, impairment, disfigurement, and other damages.

A critical collision involving an 18-wheeler shut down westbound Interstate 30 in Royse City on Tuesday morning, June 30, 2026. The crash was reported around 6:45 a.m. near FM 35, and all westbound lanes were closed while emergency crews responded. WFAA reported that Royse City police directed all westbound traffic to exit at FM 2642 while the crash remained under investigation. Major shutdowns on I-30 can create dangerous backups, especially during the morning commute when drivers may encounter sudden slowdowns, stopped traffic, and limited room to avoid a collision. An 18-wheeler crash in Royse City should be investigated quickly and aggressively. Key questions may include whether the truck driver was speeding, distracted, fatigued, following too closely, or failed to adjust for traffic.
