A major crash was reported on southbound Interstate 35 at Oak Street in Denton, Texas, around 8:10 a.m. on June 30, 2026. The crash reportedly closed the left lane while crews responded to the scene.

When a lane is blocked during the morning commute, traffic can back up quickly and increase the risk of rear-end collisions, sideswipe wrecks, and multi-vehicle crashes. A serious Denton crash should be investigated quickly. Key evidence may include the crash report, witness statements, dash camera footage, TxDOT camera information, nearby surveillance video, vehicle damage, cell phone records, medical records, and photos or videos from the scene.

The crash happened in Fort Worth and involved a pedestrian being hit by a vehicle on or near the highway. This is a serious incident, and the injured person and their family deserve answers.
