A major collision was reported on northbound SH 360 near I-30 in Arlington during the Friday morning commute on September 18, 2026. According to the traffic information provided, the crash occurred at approximately 6:56 a.m. The collision closed all northbound SH 360 lanes while emergency crews responded. Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or explain what caused the wreck. All Northbound SH 360 Lanes Closed Near I-30 The crash affected the heavily traveled SH 360 and I-30 interchange in Arlington. With every northbound SH 360 lane closed, drivers approaching the interchange could encounter significant backups, stopped traffic, emergency vehicles, and congestion on nearby ramps and surface streets as motorists looked for alternate routes. Because information remains preliminary, it would be premature to determine whether speeding, distracted driving, following too closely, an unsafe lane change, or another factor contributed to the collision. SH 360 and I-30 Have Seen Other Recent Crashes The Wooley Law Firm recently reported a separate major I-30 crash at SH 360 in Arlington on September 4, 2026. That collision affected eastbound I-30 at the same major interchange. The firm has also reported other recent SH 360 crashes in Arlington, including a northbound SH 360 collision at Division Street. These incidents are separate and are not known to be related. Evidence After a Major Arlington Highway Crash If someone is seriously injured in a freeway collision, important evidence may include: TxDOT traffic-camera footage; dashcam recordings; nearby surveillance video; police crash reports; witness statements; photographs and videos from the scene; vehicle event-data recorder information; roadway debris and tire marks; and vehicle damage and final resting positions. Video evidence can be especially useful in a crash near a major interchange because it may show lane changes, merging, braking, and traffic conditions immediately before impact.

An 18-wheeler crash in Sabine County caused the closure of FM 201 and FM 2343 on Thursday morning, September 17, 2026. According to preliminary information, the crash occurred near the intersection of FM 201 and FM 2343. The Sabine County Sheriff’s Office advised that both roads would remain closed for an unknown amount of time while crews worked at the scene. Drivers were asked to avoid the area and use alternate routes. Early information did not confirm whether anyone was injured, how many vehicles were involved, or what caused the 18-wheeler wreck. Sabine County Roads Closed After 18-Wheeler Wreck The collision affected FM 201 and FM 2343 in Sabine County, where emergency responders and cleanup crews needed access to the roadway. Commercial truck crashes can require lengthy road closures because investigators may need to document the position of the tractor and trailer, photograph the scene, remove damaged vehicles, clear debris, and determine whether fuel or cargo created additional hazards. Because the circumstances surrounding this crash remain under investigation, it would be premature to determine whether driver error, speed, distraction, mechanical problems, roadway conditions, cargo issues, or another factor contributed to the collision. Evidence That May Be Important After an 18-Wheeler Crash When an 18-wheeler is involved in a serious Texas crash, evidence may exist beyond what appears in the initial crash report. Depending on the circumstances, an investigation may include: Electronic control module or “black box” data Dash-camera or inward-facing camera footage Driver qualification and training records Hours-of-service and electronic logging device records Dispatch and company communications Cellphone records Maintenance and inspection records Tractor and trailer ownership information Cargo and loading records Photographs and measurements from the crash scene Witness statements and nearby surveillance footage Some trucking records and electronic data may be routinely overwritten or deleted, which can make early evidence preservation important after a serious commercial vehicle collision. Texas 18-Wheeler Accident Claims Determining responsibility after a commercial truck wreck can require investigating more than the truck driver. Depending on the evidence, potentially responsible parties may include the motor carrier, tractor owner, trailer owner, maintenance contractor, loading company, or another business involved in the truck’s operation. The Wooley Law Firm represents people injured in serious commercial vehicle collisions throughout Texas.

A wreck involving a tanker truck was reported on northbound I-45 at Pennsylvania Avenue in Dallas during the Thursday morning commute on September 17, 2026. According to the traffic information provided, the collision was reported at approximately 9:00 a.m. Early information did not identify the other vehicle or vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or explain what caused the crash. Tanker Truck Crash Reported on Northbound I-45 The wreck occurred on northbound I-45 near Pennsylvania Avenue in South Dallas. Crashes involving tanker trucks can create additional concerns because these commercial vehicles may be carrying fuel, chemicals, food products, or other liquids. Depending on the cargo, emergency crews may need to evaluate not only the collision itself but also whether the tank was damaged or whether any material leaked onto the roadway. There is no confirmed information at this time indicating that the tanker involved in this crash leaked or spilled its cargo. Because the circumstances remain preliminary, it would be premature to determine whether speeding, following too closely, an unsafe lane change, distraction, mechanical failure, or another factor contributed to the collision. Why Tanker Truck Wrecks Can Require a Broader Investigation A serious tanker-truck collision may involve several categories of evidence beyond what is typically available in an ordinary car crash. Depending on the circumstances, investigators may examine: the truck's electronic control module or “black box”; dashcam or onboard camera footage; GPS and telematics records; electronic logging device information; driver hours-of-service records; inspection and maintenance records; tire and brake records; bills of lading and cargo documents; tank inspection records; dispatch communications; and traffic-camera or nearby surveillance footage. The type of cargo being transported can also matter. Investigators may need to determine whether the load was properly handled, whether the tanker complied with applicable inspection requirements, and whether the tank itself was damaged during the crash. Who May Be Involved in a Tanker Truck Investigation? A tanker truck may involve several different businesses. Depending on the facts, relevant parties could include: the truck driver; the motor carrier; the tractor owner; the tanker-trailer owner; the company that loaded the cargo; a maintenance contractor; or another company involved in the shipment. The involvement of those companies does not mean any of them were negligent. Their respective roles must be determined from the evidence. Injured in a Tanker Truck Wreck in Dallas? The Wooley Law Firm represents people injured in serious 18-wheeler and commercial truck crashes throughout Dallas-Fort Worth and Texas.

A Comal ISD school bus and an 18-wheeler collided near Loop 337 and Altgelt Lane in New Braunfels on Thursday morning, September 17, 2026. New Braunfels Police said no children were on the school bus at the time of the crash. The drivers of both vehicles were transported to the hospital with injuries described as not life-threatening. The collision closed Altgelt Lane between Wald Road and Loop 337 while emergency crews worked at the scene. Police had not released information about what caused the wreck. No Students Were on the School Bus The school bus involved in the collision belonged to Comal Independent School District. Police specifically reported that there were no children aboard when the bus and 18-wheeler crashed. Both drivers were taken for medical treatment. Early reporting indicated their injuries were not considered life-threatening. Altgelt Lane Closed Near Loop 337 The wreck caused authorities to close Altgelt Lane between Wald Road and Loop 337 while crews responded and worked to clear the scene. Drivers in the area were advised to expect delays and use another route. Because police have not yet explained how the vehicles collided, it would be premature to determine whether either driver or another party was responsible. What Should Be Investigated After a School Bus and 18-Wheeler Crash? A collision involving both a school bus and a commercial truck can involve several sources of evidence. Depending on the circumstances, investigators may examine: dashcam or onboard camera footage from the 18-wheeler; video systems installed on the school bus; the truck's electronic control module or “black box” data; GPS and telematics information; driver logs and hours-of-service records; school bus routing and operational records; maintenance and inspection records for both vehicles; witness statements; nearby surveillance footage; and photographs and physical evidence from the crash scene. The available evidence may help establish each vehicle's speed, direction of travel, braking, and position immediately before impact. Commercial Truck Evidence Can Be Important An 18-wheeler may contain electronic information that helps reconstruct what occurred in the seconds before a collision. That evidence can include speed, braking information, throttle position, GPS records, onboard video, collision-warning data, and other telematics information. The Wooley Law Firm has written more about the importance of automatic emergency braking data after an 18-wheeler wreck and the evidence that should be examined after a rear-end commercial truck collision. These issues may or may not be relevant to the New Braunfels crash depending on how the collision occurred. Injured in an 18-Wheeler Wreck in Texas? The Wooley Law Firm represents people injured in serious 18-wheeler and commercial truck crashes throughout Texas.

A major wreck was reported on westbound I-30 at Dalrock Road in Rowlett during the Thursday morning commute on September 17, 2026. According to the traffic information provided, the collision was reported at approximately 8:35 a.m. The two left westbound lanes were closed while emergency crews responded. Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or explain what caused the collision. Two Left Lanes Closed After I-30 Crash at Dalrock Road The wreck affected westbound traffic on I-30 near Dalrock Road in Rowlett. With two left lanes blocked during the morning commute, motorists approaching the scene 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 determine whether speeding, distracted driving, following too closely, an unsafe lane change, or another factor contributed to the wreck. Dalrock Road Has Seen Several Recent I-30 Crashes The Wooley Law Firm has recently reported other serious crashes near this same interchange. On August 18, 2026, a major westbound I-30 wreck involving an 18-wheeler at Dalrock Road closed two left lanes and the shoulder. Another separate collision occurred on eastbound I-30 at Dalrock Road on September 1, 2026, closing the right lane and shoulder. These incidents are not known to be related, but they demonstrate how frequently crashes can disrupt traffic along this heavily traveled I-30 corridor between Rowlett, Garland, Rockwall, and Dallas. Evidence After a Major I-30 Collision If someone is seriously injured in a highway wreck, potentially important evidence may include: traffic-camera footage; dashcam recordings; nearby surveillance video; police crash reports; witness statements; photographs and videos from the scene; vehicle event-data recorder information; roadway debris and tire marks; and vehicle damage and final resting positions. Video can be particularly valuable in freeway crashes because it may show lane changes, braking, traffic congestion, and the movement of vehicles immediately before impact.

A collision was reported on westbound I-635 underneath the Skillman Street overpass in Dallas during the Thursday morning commute on September 17, 2026. According to the traffic information provided, the wreck was reported at approximately 7:55 a.m. The two left westbound lanes were closed while emergency crews responded. Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or explain what caused the crash. Two Left Lanes Closed on Westbound I-635 at Skillman Street The wreck affected westbound traffic on I-635/LBJ Freeway near Skillman Street in northeast Dallas. With two left lanes blocked during the morning commute, drivers approaching the scene could encounter congestion, sudden braking, emergency vehicles, and motorists merging into the remaining open lanes. Because the circumstances remain preliminary, it would be premature to determine whether speeding, distracted driving, following too closely, an unsafe lane change, or another factor contributed to the collision. Why Highway Crashes Near Overpasses Can Be Difficult to Investigate A freeway collision underneath an overpass may require investigators to piece together vehicle movements using several different types of evidence. Potential questions may include: which lanes the vehicles occupied before impact; whether traffic had slowed or stopped; whether a driver changed lanes immediately before the wreck; whether visibility was affected; whether another vehicle contributed to the sequence of events; and whether traffic-camera, dashcam, or nearby surveillance footage captured the collision. The final positions of the vehicles alone do not necessarily establish how a freeway wreck occurred. Evidence After an I-635 Crash in Dallas Potentially important evidence may include: TxDOT traffic-camera footage; dashcam recordings; nearby surveillance video; police crash reports; witness statements; photographs and videos from the scene; vehicle event-data recorder information; roadway debris and tire marks; and vehicle damage patterns. Video evidence can be especially useful in an I-635 collision because it may show lane positioning, braking, merging, and traffic conditions immediately before impact.

A wreck involving an 18-wheeler was reported on eastbound I-30 at the I-35E northbound ramp in Dallas on Thursday morning, September 17, 2026. According to the traffic information provided, the crash was reported at approximately 9:45 a.m. Ambulance, fire, and police units were at the scene responding to the collision. Early information did not identify the other vehicle or vehicles involved, confirm the extent of any injuries, or explain what caused the crash. Emergency Response at the I-30 and I-35E Interchange The wreck occurred at the connection between eastbound I-30 and the northbound I-35E ramp in Dallas, a heavily traveled interchange near downtown. When a crash happens at a major freeway ramp, traffic can become especially dangerous because drivers may be merging, braking, changing lanes, or attempting to position themselves for the interchange at the same time. The presence of ambulance, fire, and police units suggests that emergency crews considered the situation serious enough to require a substantial response. Because the circumstances remain preliminary, it would be premature to determine whether speed, distracted driving, an unsafe lane change, following too closely, congestion, or another factor contributed to the collision. Why an 18-Wheeler Crash at a Ramp Can Require a Broader Investigation A crash involving a commercial truck near a freeway ramp can raise issues beyond an ordinary passenger-vehicle wreck. Depending on the facts, an investigation may need to determine: how the 18-wheeler was positioned before impact; whether traffic was slowing or stopped at the interchange; whether another vehicle changed lanes or cut into the truck’s path; whether the truck driver had enough time and distance to react; whether the truck’s brakes, lights, and other equipment were functioning properly; and whether road design, traffic flow, or congestion contributed to the sequence of events. The location of the crash alone does not establish fault. Those issues generally depend on physical evidence, witness accounts, and available video or electronic data. Important Evidence After a Dallas 18-Wheeler Wreck In a commercial truck collision, important evidence may exist in several places. Potentially relevant evidence can include: dashcam or onboard camera footage; the truck’s electronic control module or “black box” data; GPS and telematics records; electronic logging device records; driver hours-of-service information; dispatch communications; inspection and maintenance records; TxDOT traffic-camera footage; witness statements; and photographs, roadway debris, and vehicle damage patterns from the scene. Preserving that evidence can matter because trucking companies, insurers, and investigators may begin evaluating a serious collision very quickly. Who May Be Involved in an 18-Wheeler Claim? A serious truck case may involve more than the individual truck driver. Depending on the facts, potentially relevant parties can include: the truck driver; the motor carrier; the tractor owner; the trailer owner; a maintenance company; a cargo-loading company; or another business involved in the trip. That does not mean any of those parties were at fault. It simply means a proper investigation may require identifying everyone connected to the truck and its operation.

A major wreck was reported on westbound US 175 at Silverado Drive on Thursday afternoon, September 17, 2026. According to the traffic information provided, the crash was reported at approximately 2:55 p.m. The collision closed all westbound lanes while emergency crews responded. Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or explain what caused the wreck. All Westbound US 175 Lanes Closed at Silverado Drive The crash created a complete westbound closure on US 175 near Silverado Drive. A full highway closure can produce significant backups, sudden stopping, and congestion on nearby frontage roads and alternate routes as drivers attempt to avoid the scene. Because the circumstances remain preliminary, it would be premature to determine whether speeding, distraction, following too closely, an unsafe lane change, or another factor contributed to the collision. Evidence After a Major US 175 Crash If someone was seriously injured, potentially important evidence may include: TxDOT traffic-camera footage; dashcam recordings; nearby surveillance video; police crash reports; witness statements; photographs and videos from the scene; vehicle event-data recorder information; roadway debris and tire marks; and vehicle damage and final resting positions.

A major wreck was reported on eastbound I-30 at Carroll Avenue in Dallas during the Thursday morning commute on September 17, 2026. According to the traffic information provided, the collision was reported at approximately 8:45 a.m. The crash closed all eastbound lanes while emergency crews responded. Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or explain what caused the collision. All Eastbound I-30 Lanes Closed at Carroll Avenue The wreck affected eastbound traffic on I-30 near Carroll Avenue, just east of downtown Dallas. Because all eastbound lanes were closed, drivers approaching the crash scene could encounter substantial backups, stopped traffic, emergency vehicles, and congestion on nearby surface streets as motorists looked for alternate routes. A complete freeway closure can also increase the risk of secondary crashes as traffic suddenly slows behind the original collision. Because the circumstances remain preliminary, it would be premature to determine whether speeding, distracted driving, following too closely, an unsafe lane change, or another factor contributed to the wreck. I-30 Has Seen Several Recent Serious Crashes in Dallas The Wooley Law Firm has recently reported on several other serious collisions along I-30 in Dallas. On September 16, a major 18-wheeler wreck occurred on eastbound I-30 at Dolphin Road. Earlier this month, another major eastbound I-30 crash occurred at Jim Miller Road. These are separate incidents and are not known to be related, but they show how frequently serious wrecks can disrupt the I-30 corridor through Dallas. Evidence After a Major I-30 Crash When a crash shuts down an entire interstate, investigators may need to reconstruct the sequence of events using several different types of evidence. Potentially important evidence may include: TxDOT traffic-camera footage; dashcam recordings; nearby surveillance video; police crash reports; witness statements; photographs and videos from the scene; vehicle event-data recorder information; roadway debris and tire marks; and the final positions and damage patterns of the vehicles.

According to the traffic information provided, the crash was verified at approximately 6:16 a.m. The lane diagram shows two westbound travel lanes closed while emergency crews responded, with the remaining lanes and adjacent roadway access still open.

With two lanes blocked during the morning commute, drivers approaching the crash could encounter congestion, emergency vehicles, sudden braking, and motorists merging into the remaining open lanes. Because information about the wreck remains preliminary, it would be premature to determine whether speeding, distraction, following too closely, an unsafe lane change, or another factor contributed. Crashes Around the SH 183 and SH 114 Interchange The SH 183 corridor through Irving carries substantial commuter, airport, and commercial traffic. The Wooley Law Firm has recently reported several other crashes along SH 183 in Irving, including a major crash at Loop 12 on September 16⁠, another major SH 183 crash at Loop 12 on September 11⁠, and an 18-wheeler wreck in the SH 183 express lanes at SH 161⁠.

A major collision was reported on southbound US 67 at Gifco Road in Midlothian early Thursday morning, September 17, 2026. According to the traffic alert provided, the crash was verified at approximately 6:18 a.m. The lane diagram shows that two right-side lanes were closed, while the remaining southbound lanes stayed open. Early information did not identify the vehicles involved, confirm whether anyone was injured, or explain what caused the collision. Two Lanes Closed After US 67 Crash at Gifco Road Gifco Road intersects the US 67 corridor in Midlothian, Ellis County. City planning records specifically identify the intersection of Gifco Road and the southbound US 67 frontage road in Midlothian. With two lanes blocked during the morning commute, motorists approaching the crash could encounter slowing traffic, emergency vehicles, and drivers merging into the remaining open lanes. Because the circumstances remain preliminary, it would be premature to determine whether speeding, distracted driving, following too closely, an unsafe lane change, or another factor contributed to the collision. US 67 Is an Important Midlothian Traffic Corridor US 67 serves as a major route connecting Midlothian with Cedar Hill, Duncanville, Dallas, and communities farther south. The Gifco Road interchange is located along the northern portion of Midlothian. Transportation planning records for the area have discussed traffic growth and improvements around the Gifco Road/US 67 intersection, including concerns about increased truck and large-vehicle traffic. Those planning issues do not establish anything about the cause of Thursday’s wreck, but they provide context for the amount and mix of traffic using this part of US 67. Evidence After a Serious US 67 Crash If injuries are confirmed, potentially important evidence may include: TxDOT traffic-camera footage; dashcam recordings; nearby surveillance video; crash-scene photographs; witness statements; police crash reports; vehicle event-data recorder information; roadway debris and tire marks; and the final positions and damage patterns of the vehicles.
