Accident Report
July 25, 2026, one person was fatally injured due to a car versus pedestrian accident at around 8:59 p.m. on Interstate 35.
Preliminary information about the accident says it happened along northbound lanes of I-35 just south of US 290 near Reinli Street.
It appears that a pedestrian was on I-35 when a vehicle struck them. Due to this, the pedestrian sustained serious injuries and reportedly died two days following the accident.
Details about the crash are unavailable. It’s unclear if they stayed at the scene or if charges are being considered. Investigations continue.
How Did This Accident Occur?
There are many unknowns surrounding this deadly incident. One thing I wonder is if authorities canvassed the area for cameras. There may be a traffic camera that caught the incident on video, or perhaps a nearby business has a camera with a view of the road. Putting the word out to the public could lead to people with dash cams coming forward. It’s just one step in a complete investigation, of course, but it’s quite time-sensitive. If authorities haven’t already been looking for this sort of evidence, it would raise questions about what other time-sensitive evidence might not be getting enough attention.
In the meantime, if anyone saw anything around the time of this accident or has thoughts to share, leave a comment and let us know.
