Fort Worth, TX — September 23, 2025, Waliullah Hassan was injured as the result of a car accident at around 12:55 a.m. along I-35W.
Investigators said that the incident took place just south of the US 287 split on southbound lanes of the freeway.
According to officials, 30-year-old Waliullah Hassan was in a Toyota Corolla going on I-35W. A Mercedes-Benz was going the same direction, reportedly at an unsafe speed. The vehicles somehow collided as a result of the accident.
Due to the accident, Waliullah Hassan was reportedly seriously injured. No other injuries were confirmed. At this time, additional details are unavailable.

When a crash happens on a major freeway in the early morning hours, especially with reports of unsafe speed, the first question shouldn’t be who to blame—it should be whether the investigation captured the full story. One driver was seriously hurt here, and surface-level details may not be enough to explain why.
1. Did investigators have the time, equipment, and training to fully analyze the crash?
Crashes involving speed require more than just a visual assessment. Did investigators reconstruct the vehicles’ movements, determine how much time either driver had to react, or use mapping tools to confirm impact points? Without the proper tools and experience, important context can go undocumented.
2. Was either vehicle inspected for mechanical failure?
If the Mercedes-Benz was speeding, it’s still worth asking whether a brake issue, steering problem, or system malfunction made the situation worse. And if the Corolla couldn’t avoid the crash, was it due to a failure of its own? Mechanical issues don’t always show up unless someone looks for them specifically.
3. Was any electronic data from the vehicles preserved?
Both vehicles likely recorded speed, braking effort, and steering inputs just before the collision. That kind of data can help confirm whether the crash was avoidable—or if one driver never had a chance to react. But it only helps if someone acted quickly enough to retrieve it.
At the end of the day, people need as much evidence telling the story as possible. Either authorities are able to provide clear answers, or they’ll show that getting the full story will require more thorough independent investigations.
Takeaways:
- It’s not clear whether investigators had the tools or training to fully reconstruct the crash.
- A mechanical failure in either vehicle could have influenced the outcome but needs inspection to confirm.
- Vehicle data may explain critical moments—if it was collected in time.
