Dallas police officers were called to the multi-vehicle collision on eastbound I-30 near Ferguson Road, according to WFAA. The station reported that the crash happened when one of the vehicles involved caught fire, though it's not yet clear how the collision unfolded or how many vehicles were caught up in it.
Several Rushed to Hospital With Critical Injuries
Multiple people were transported to a hospital with critical injuries, officials confirmed, per the same report. The station's account does not specify how many people were hurt, their identities, or which hospital received them, and those details have not yet been made public.
The crash's cause is still being sorted out by investigators, and no determination has been released on what sparked the vehicle fire or what led to the chain-reaction collision. Officials have not released any additional information about the circumstances leading up to the fire.
A Stretch of Highway With a History of Trouble
The Ferguson Road interchange on I-30 has seen serious incidents before. In September 2023, a crash involving at least 24 vehicles on eastbound I-30 at Ferguson Road shut down all lanes, according to the Dallas County Sheriff's Department, as reported by NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth. More recently, in August 2026, a separate wreck on westbound I-30 at Ferguson Road closed the left lane while emergency crews responded, according to The Wooley Law Firm, PLLC. Those earlier incidents are not confirmed to be connected to Sunday's crash, but they underscore how often the corridor has drawn emergency responders.
For now, the scope of Sunday's crash near Ferguson Road remains limited to what officials have confirmed: a vehicle fire, a multi-car pileup, and several people in critical condition. Investigators have not released a timeline for determining the cause or an update on the victims' conditions.
