Dallas, TX (November 20, 2025) – A major crash on Thursday morning, November 20, brought traffic to a standstill along the southbound lanes of US Highway 75 near Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
The collision happened around 5:30 a.m. near the SMU Boulevard exit. Emergency crews arrived within minutes to assist those involved and block off the affected lanes. Responders worked to move the damaged vehicles and manage traffic while assessing the situation.
Authorities diverted drivers onto alternate routes as TxDOT teams began clearing debris. The southbound lanes stayed closed for several hours, causing heavy backups throughout the morning commute. Officials have not confirmed how many vehicles were involved or whether anyone required hospital care.
Investigators from the Dallas Police Department remained at the scene to collect evidence and determine what led to the crash. Crews stayed for several hours to ensure the area was safe before reopening the lanes. The investigation remains ongoing.

Car Accidents in Texas
Texas highways see some of the highest traffic volumes in the nation, especially in congested areas like Dallas. Busy routes such as US 75 often experience a high number of crashes during peak travel hours, especially when visibility or traffic conditions shift without warning.
Most serious crashes in Texas happen when drivers lose focus, follow too closely, or fail to yield during congested traffic. On roads like US 75, even a small mistake can trigger a chain reaction that leaves multiple vehicles damaged and several people hurt. Sudden stops, poor visibility, and early-morning conditions make these incidents even more dangerous.
Severe collisions often lead to head injuries, spinal trauma, and broken bones that require months of medical care. Victims may face long recoveries, emotional stress, and financial strain from mounting medical bills and lost income.
Under Texas law, injured victims may recover compensation for:
- Medical treatment and future care
- Lost income and reduced earning ability
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
- Property and vehicle damage
