Wooley Law Takeaway

A wreck was reported on northbound I-635 at La Prada Drive in Mesquite on Wednesday morning, August 26, 2026.

According to the traffic information provided, the collision was reported at approximately 7:35 a.m. The right travel 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 crash.

Right Lane Closed After I-635 Crash at La Prada Drive

The collision affected northbound traffic on I-635, also known as LBJ Freeway, near La Prada Drive during the Wednesday morning commute.

With the right lane and shoulder blocked, motorists approaching the wreck could encounter congestion, sudden braking, emergency vehicles, and drivers merging into the remaining open lanes.

Because the circumstances remain preliminary, it would be premature to attribute the collision to speeding, distracted driving, following too closely, an unsafe lane change, or another particular cause.

Evidence After an I-635 Car Wreck Near Mesquite

When someone is injured in a serious highway collision, evidence gathered soon after the crash may become important in determining how the wreck happened.

Potentially important evidence may include:

  • Dashcam footage

  • TxDOT traffic-camera footage

  • Nearby business or surveillance video

  • Photographs and videos from the crash scene

  • Witness statements

  • Police crash reports

Major Crash on Eastbound I-30 at Lake Ray Hubbard Bridge in Rockwall Closes Three Lanes

A major crash was reported on eastbound I-30 at the Lake Ray Hubbard Bridge in Rockwall early Wednesday morning, August 26, 2026. According to the TxDOT traffic information provided, the collision was verified at approximately 5:58 a.m. The lane diagram shows three eastbound travel lanes closed, leaving only one main travel lane open while emergency crews responded. Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or explain what caused the wreck. Three Lanes Closed After I-30 Crash on Lake Ray Hubbard Bridge The collision created a potentially significant traffic disruption for motorists traveling eastbound from the Dallas area toward Rockwall during the Wednesday morning commute.
