Every day, thousands of commuters, commercial drivers, and families take to Dallas highways.
And every day, dangerous wrecks involving big rigs, box trucks, and 18-wheelers happen on those same roads—turning normal days into life-altering tragedies.
You might be heading down I-635, weaving through heavy traffic near the Galleria.
Or you could be stuck in congestion on I-35E, with big rigs flying by inches from your door.
Maybe you’re commuting home on I-30, dealing with aggressive drivers at one of Dallas’s busy interchanges.
No matter how safely you drive, you can't control a reckless or exhausted truck driver—and you can’t predict when a trucking company’s shortcuts will cause another wreck.
At Witherite Law Group, our Dallas truck accident lawyers know these roads, these dangers, and these companies—and we’re ready to fight when a truck wreck turns your world upside down.
Here are the highways you need to know about—and what you can do if you’re hurt on one of them.
The Most Dangerous Highways for Truck Accidents in Dallas, TX
Dallas is a trucking hub for the entire state of Texas—and unfortunately, that means some highways see more crashes, more injuries, and more fatalities than others.
Here’s where the risk is highest:
1. Interstate 635 (I-635 / LBJ Freeway): Over 2,200 motor vehicle crashes in one year.
Known for brutal congestion, frequent speed changes, confusing interchanges, and aggressive truck traffic. Wrecks here often involve multi-vehicle pileups.
2. Interstate 35E (I-35E / Stemmons Freeway): Nearly 1,500 crashes annually. High-speed traffic mixes with local congestion near Downtown Dallas, making sudden lane changes and high-impact collisions common. A prime route for heavy commercial trucking traffic.
3. Interstate 30 (I-30 / Tom Landry Freeway):
Hundreds of serious wrecks every year. Dangerous merges, narrow shoulders, and heavy traffic around Arlington and Downtown increase collision risk. High frequency of truck-versus-passenger vehicle crashes.
4. Interstate 45 (I-45): A critical trucking route connecting Dallas and Houston. Long, monotonous stretches cause driver fatigue—one of the top causes of deadly truck wrecks. Speeding and distracted driving on I-45 make it a high-risk road for serious accidents.
5. US Highway 75 (North Central Expressway): Over 1,000 crashes per year. Heavy daily commuter traffic combined with dense trucking operations through Plano and Richardson. Tight lanes and construction zones make it easy for trucks to sideswipe smaller vehicles.
What to Do If You Drive These Dangerous Dallas Highways Every Day
If you have no choice but to travel I-635, I-35E, I-30, I-45, or US-75 every day, protect yourself as much as possible:
- Stay Out of Truck Blind Spots: If you can't see the driver's side mirror, they can't see you.
- Maintain a Safe Following Distance: Leave extra space in case a truck stops suddenly.
- Avoid Aggressive Truckers: Let speeding or weaving trucks pass. It's not worth the risk.
- Stay Alert: Keep both hands on the wheel and eliminate distractions inside your vehicle.
- Know Who to Call: If the worst happens, Witherite Law Group is ready to act immediately for you.
