A Major Texas Corridor with Significant Truck Accident Risks
Spanning more than 500 miles in Texas alone and cutting through three major metropolitan areas, I-35 carries hundreds of thousands of vehicles each day within Texas borders.
Moments of negligence, small and large alike, lead to dozens of Interstate 35 accidents every day. The experienced Texas truck accident lawyers at D. Miller & Associates remain up to date on the factors that lead to crashes on this major Texas corridor, and the unique patterns of negligence that place lives at risk on key stretches.
Laredo and the Border
As the busiest land port of entry in the U.S., Laredo sees a constant flow of commercial traffic travelling across the Mexico border. Freight traffic in Laredo places thousands of commercial vehicles on area roadways each day, and negligence by truck drivers, motor carriers, cargo loaders, or maintenance providers can lead to devastating accidents.
South Texas Brush Country
This less populated stretch of I-35 sees long rural stretches of road where truck drivers push themselves to finish long hauls to the border. From Cotulla to San Antonio, these brush country accidents often involve high speeds, driver fatigue, and severe injuries that can leave victims facing a long road to recovery.
San Antonio Metro
In the San Antonio metro area, I-35 becomes a dense web of interchanges with I-10, I-410, and Loop 1604, including the notoriously complex “malfunction junction.” These heavily congested interchanges are a frequent site of serious collisions, where rapid lane changes, heavy commuter traffic, and negligent driving behaviors can quickly lead to multi-vehicle accidents.
San Antonio to Austin
This is I-35’s most dangerous stretch in Texas, featuring the notoriously hazardous segment between New Braunfels and Austin. Rapid population growth in both metro areas has overwhelmed road capacity, and frequent construction only adds congestion and unpredictability. When distracted, speeding, impaired, and otherwise negligent drivers enter this congested freeway, disaster can quickly follow.
The Austin Metro
Once inside the Austin metro, drivers on I-35 find added congestion due to the Capital Express Central project and ongoing expansion work throughout the corridor.
I-35 in Austin is known as a major traffic bottleneck, but heavy commuter volumes and aggressive driving behaviors make this stretch of the interstate even more perilous. With thousands of vehicles traveling through the city each day, even a minor crash can quickly trigger severe backups and increase the risk of secondary collisions.
Austin to Waco
North of Austin, I-35 passes through growing Central Texas communities such as Temple, Belton, and Waco. This stretch carries a heavy mix of long-haul trucking traffic and regional freight deliveries, creating frequent interactions between commercial vehicles and passenger cars. Even small moments of negligence can lead to catastrophe when a huge 18-wheeler crosses paths with a much smaller vehicle.
Waco to DFW
Between Waco and Dallas-Fort Worth, I-35 transitions from a rural interstate into a busy suburban corridor. Drivers often maintain high speeds even as traffic density increases, creating conditions where crashes can occur with little warning. Heavy freight traffic and unexpected congestion make this a particularly dangerous stretch of highway.
The DFW Metroplex
Near Hillsboro, I-35 splits into two separate routes: I-35E through Dallas and I-35W through Fort Worth. This division funnels traffic through both halves of the Metroplex and exposes drivers to some of the busiest and most congested highways in Texas.
Driving through Dallas on I-35 often means navigating dense urban traffic, major interchanges, and persistent congestion through the heart of the city. Meanwhile, truck traffic in Fort Worth is no less challenging to navigate, particularly near distribution centers and key connections with I-30, I-20, and Loop 820, where commercial vehicles and commuters compete for limited roadway space.
DFW to the Oklahoma Border
After reuniting north of Denton, I-35 continues through Gainesville toward the Red River and the Oklahoma border. While traffic is generally lighter than in the Metroplex, this remains an important freight corridor with substantial commercial truck activity. Factors like high-speeds and driver fatigue can combine on these less-populated stretches, contributing to severe truck accidents.
