Right Lane Closed After I-30 Crash at Cooks Lane
The collision affected eastbound traffic on I-30 in Arlington during the Thursday morning commute.

Major Crash on Southbound I-35E at East 8th Street in Dallas
A major crash was reported on southbound I-35E at East 8th Street in Dallas on Thursday morning, August 27, 2026. According to the traffic information provided, the collision was reported at approximately 8:20 a.m. The exit lane, entrance lane, and right shoulder were closed while emergency crews responded to the scene. Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or explain what caused the wreck. Exit and Entrance Lanes Closed After I-35E Crash The collision affected southbound traffic on I-35E near East 8th Street during the Thursday morning commute. Crashes near entrance and exit ramps can create additional hazards because vehicles may already be slowing, accelerating, merging, or changing lanes. With both ramp-related lanes and the right shoulder unavailable, motorists approaching the crash could encounter congestion, sudden braking, emergency vehicles, and drivers merging into the remaining open lanes. Because information about the collision remains preliminary, it would be premature to attribute the wreck to speeding, distracted driving, following too closely, an unsafe lane change, failure to yield, or another specific cause.
