A Dallas police officer was involved in a crash on eastbound I-635, also known as LBJ Freeway, at Miller Road, as rain continued to fall across North Texas. The officer's condition was unclear, and it was also unclear whether any civilians were injured. Officers on scene were working to clear the crash.
Details Remain Limited at the Scene
According to NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth, the crash shut down part of the heavily traveled freeway corridor as crews responded. The outlet reported that both the officer's condition and the status of any civilians involved were unclear at the time of its report. An NBC 5 photojournalist was dispatched to the scene to gather additional information as the situation developed.
No details have emerged yet about how many vehicles were involved or what caused the crash. Those specifics remain unconfirmed, and Hoodline has not been able to verify them independently.
Wet Weather Compounds Road Conditions
The crash unfolded as rain continued falling across North Texas, the station's report noted, adding another layer of difficulty for drivers and first responders navigating the freeway. The wet conditions arrive amid a broader pattern of heavy rainfall moving through the region this week.
The National Weather Service said a Flood Watch had been expanded and extended through Friday afternoon across parts of North and Central Texas, with isolated additional rainfall amounts as high as 2 to 4 inches possible in some areas, per the agency's Fort Worth forecast office. That kind of rainfall can quickly reduce visibility and traction on highways like LBJ Freeway, where Friday's crash occurred.
