Thursday Was a Four-Highway Crash Day in Dallas: SH 114, I-35E, US 75 and Spur 408 All Took Hits

Dallas drivers heading into the Thursday evening drive are coming off one of the rougher incident days of the fall. Four separate collisions on four different highways were reported across Dallas and Irving on Thursday, each one closing lanes or diverting traffic, according to a Dallas–Fort Worth incident roundup compiled from preliminary publicly reported information.

The morning started in Irving, where a collision involving an overturned vehicle affected westbound State Highway 114 at Esters Road. The incident was listed as verified at 8:31 a.m., with lane closures reported on the westbound roadway; the initial report did not say how many vehicles were involved, whether anyone was injured, or what caused the vehicle to overturn, and no reopening time was provided.

Across Dallas, a collision reported around 9:20 a.m. on northbound Interstate 35E at Spur 482 — Storey Lane — left only the right lane and shoulder open, and a rear-end collision around 9:10 a.m. on southbound US 75 at Royal Lane closed the right lane and right shoulder there. Neither initial report identified the vehicles involved or established whether anyone was hurt.

The afternoon added a fourth: a collision reported around 1:15 p.m. diverted all southbound traffic on Spur 408 off the highway at Kiest Boulevard in Dallas, with no time given for restoring normal flow. The desk stresses what these reports are and are not: they are preliminary incident accounts, road conditions may have changed since each one was filed, and drivers should check current conditions before assuming any of Thursday's restrictions still stand.
