Two I-35E Crashes Reported at Valwood Parkway in Farmers Branch

The information provided here is for educational purposes and does not constitute legal advice.
Wooley Law Takeaway
Two separate crashes were reported on I-35E near Valwood Parkway in Farmers Branch during the Monday morning commute on September 28, 2026.
One collision affected southbound I-35E at Valwood Parkway, while a second wreck was reported on northbound I-35E in the same area.
Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or indicate how many lanes were affected by either collision.
Crashes Reported in Both Directions of I-35E
Valwood Parkway is an I-35E interchange in Farmers Branch, immediately south of Carrollton. TxDOT also identifies Valwood Parkway as an access point for the I-35E TEXpress system. Farmers Branch Legistar
Having collisions reported in both directions of the freeway during the same morning could create substantial congestion as drivers encounter emergency vehicles, slowing traffic, and changing lane patterns.
At this point, there is no verified information establishing that the northbound and southbound crashes were related.
Could One Crash Have Contributed to the Other?
When separate wrecks occur near the same interchange within a relatively short period, investigators may examine whether congestion from the first collision affected traffic involved in the second.
However, that should not be assumed here. The two incidents may have been entirely unrelated.
Potentially relevant evidence could include:
TxDOT traffic-camera footage;
dashcam recordings;
police crash reports;
witness statements;
photographs and video from each scene;
vehicle event-data recorder information;
roadway debris and tire marks; and
traffic conditions in the Valwood Parkway area during the morning commute.
Traffic-camera footage may be particularly useful in determining when each crash happened and whether traffic from one incident affected the other.
I-35E at Valwood Parkway Is a Major Commuter Corridor
I-35E carries significant commuter and commercial traffic between Dallas, Farmers Branch, Carrollton, Lewisville, and Denton County.
TxDOT's I-35E TEXpress map identifies Valwood Parkway as both a northbound express-lane exit and a southbound express-lane entrance, adding additional merging and lane-selection activity in this section of the freeway. Texas Department of Transportation
That does not mean the roadway configuration caused either September 28 crash. The cause of each collision should be determined from the available evidence.

Major Crash on Northbound Loop 12 at I-30 in Dallas Closes Three Lanes During Morning Commute
A major car wreck on northbound Loop 12 at Interstate 30 (Tom Landry Freeway) in Dallas caused significant traffic delays early Thursday morning, October 15, 2026. The collision was verified at approximately 5:07 a.m. Traffic information showed the left shoulder and three northbound lanes closed, leaving only limited lanes available while emergency crews responded. Additional information about the vehicles involved and possible injuries has not yet been released. What Happened in the Loop 12 and I-30 Crash in Dallas? The major collision occurred on northbound Loop 12 at I-30, one of the major highway connections serving Dallas and the surrounding area. With three travel lanes and the left shoulder blocked, motorists traveling northbound on Loop 12 during the Thursday morning commute could encounter substantial congestion. At this time, authorities have not released information explaining how the wreck occurred, how many vehicles were involved, or whether anyone was seriously injured. Because this is a developing Dallas traffic incident, no conclusions should be drawn about fault until investigators determine the sequence of events. Evidence After a Serious Dallas Highway Wreck Determining what caused a serious highway collision can require more than the initial police crash report. Evidence that may help establish how the Loop 12 wreck occurred includes: Dash-camera recordings from vehicles involved in or near the crash TxDOT or other traffic-camera footage Nearby business surveillance video Photographs and video of the crash scene Vehicle damage and final resting positions Event data recorder information from the vehicles Witness statements Tire marks, debris, and other roadway evidence Cellphone records when legally relevant Video evidence can be particularly valuable after a collision near a major interchange such as Loop 12 and I-30, where vehicles may be merging, changing lanes, or positioning themselves for highway connections. Who May Be Responsible for a Dallas Car Accident? Liability depends on the evidence showing how the collision occurred. A driver may potentially be responsible if evidence establishes that unsafe speed, following too closely, distracted driving, an unsafe lane change, failure to maintain a single lane, or another negligent act caused the crash. Some Dallas highway wrecks involve more than one potentially responsible driver. A detailed investigation can help determine the sequence of impacts rather than relying solely on competing statements made after the collision. Why Early Investigation Matters After a Dallas Car Wreck Important evidence can disappear quickly after a highway accident. Vehicles are removed, debris is cleared, witnesses leave the scene, and some video recordings may eventually be overwritten. When injuries are serious or liability is disputed, preserving available evidence early can make it easier to reconstruct what happened. An attorney investigating a Dallas car accident may seek traffic-camera footage, vehicle data, witness information, photographs, medical records, insurance information, and other evidence necessary to evaluate the claim.
