Waxahachie, TX — August 9, 2025, two people were injured following a multi-vehicle accident at around 7:00 a.m. along Interstate 35E.
Initial statements about the accident say that it took place along southbound lanes of the interstate near the US 287 interchange.
According to officials, a 59-year-old man and a 55-year-old woman were in a Hyundai Santa Fe traveling along the interstate. A Mack truck was also going southbound when it somehow crashed with the Hyundai and a GMC Denali.
Due to the collision, the woman riding in the Hyundai sustained serious injuries. The driver had non-life-threatening injuries. No other injuries were reported. At this time, authorities say the Mack trucks tires may have been worn or defective. Additional details are unavailable.

Did authorities ever come to a determination about the truck’s tires and the role that played in this accident? Frankly, I’ve handled hundreds of commercial vehicle accident cases, and inspecting tires for defects isn’t often the sort of thing authorities have the tools or specialized training to deal with on their own.
It’s possible authorities brought in an expert who was able to check the truck’s maintenance records, analyze the condition of the tire, and confirm if the tires needed to be replaced or instead had an unforeseeable flaw the manufacturer needs to be aware of. In my experience, though, that sort of thing rarely happens without victims and families taking steps themselves to bring in independent investigators.
