Major traffic disruptions on Interstate 35E in Carrollton following early morning crash

Dallas, Texas – On Monday morning, a crash on Interstate 35E in Carrollton caused major traffic disruptions. The incident, which occurred around 5 a.m., completely blocked all northbound lanes of the highway. This challenging situation unfolded on I-35E near Whitlock Lane, positioned just south of the President George Bush Turnpike.

The crash was not just an obstruction for the usual traffic flow; it had a wide-ranging impact. The Texas Department of Transportation reported that the collision blocked not only the three main lanes of the interstate but also the two express lanes and the shoulder area. This comprehensive blockage highlights the severity of the crash and the extensive response needed to address it.

Efforts to clear the lanes were successful, with the main lanes of the highway reopened by 9:30 a.m. This prompt action helped to alleviate some of the traffic issues caused by the incident. However, details about the cause of the crash or any potential injuries were not immediately available. The lack of immediate information underscores the complexity of the situation and the ongoing efforts to investigate and understand what happened.
