An overturned tanker truck was reported around 7:17 a.m. on June 16, 2026, on northbound Interstate 635 at Interstate 20 in Balch Springs. Emergency crews responded to the scene after the tanker overturned, creating significant traffic disruptions during the morning commute. Early reports did not indicate whether other vehicles were involved or whether any injuries were reported, but incidents involving tanker trucks often require extensive emergency response efforts because of the potential for fuel spills, hazardous materials, and roadway closures.

A major wreck was reported around 8:30 a.m. on June 16, 2026, on westbound Interstate 20 at Bonnie View Road near Hutchins, Texas.
