Arlington, TX (October 22, 2025) – A violent crash left one driver critically injured on the 360 Tollway on Monday morning, October 20, in Arlington.
The crash happened around 11:30 a.m., when two vehicles collided, causing one to roll over. Emergency crews rushed to the scene and found a driver trapped inside the overturned vehicle. Paramedics quickly provided aid and transported the driver to a nearby hospital in critical condition.
The North Texas Tollway Authority closed both the northbound and southbound lanes of the tollway as first responders worked to manage the scene and clear debris. Traffic backed up for miles as police directed drivers to alternate routes.
Investigators are still examining what led to the crash, but early reports suggest that speed and lane movement could have played a role. Drivers in the area faced significant delays through the afternoon as crews continued their work.
We wish those injured in this accident a full and swift recovery.
Car Accidents in Texas
Crashes like the one on the 360 Tollway show how quickly a normal drive can turn tragic. Texas ranks among the states with the highest number of roadway injuries every year, with thousands of collisions reported across major cities such as Dallas, Arlington, and Fort Worth.
Common causes of car accidents in Texas include:
- Speeding: Many drivers travel well above posted limits, leaving little room to react to sudden hazards.
- Distracted Driving: Using phones, GPS devices, or in-car screens takes focus off the road.
- Unsafe Lane Changes: Quick lane shifts at high speed often lead to rollover or side-impact crashes.
- Driver Fatigue: Long commutes and late-night drives increase the risk of delayed reactions.
- Tailgating: Following too closely gives drivers little time to brake or avoid collisions.
After a serious wreck, victims often face months of medical treatment, physical therapy, and emotional recovery. Medical bills, lost wages, and pain can create overwhelming stress, especially when another driver’s carelessness caused the crash.
