A car overturned below an elevated ramp at the High Five interchange in North Dallas shortly after 4 p.m. Monday. The ramp from eastbound LBJ Freeway to southbound U.S. Highway 75 was closed while authorities responded.

Why it matters

The closure disrupted one of Dallas's busiest interchanges during the evening commute, sending traffic backing up for drivers across the city. Commuters using the LBJ and U.S. 75 corridor were left to find alternate routes during rush hour.

The crash was reported shortly after 4 p.m. Monday, and the eastbound LBJ to southbound U.S. 75 ramp remained closed during the evening rush. No injury count or closure duration was reported.

Timeline

  1. Monday, November 9, 2026: crash reported shortly after 4 p.m.

  2. Monday, November 9, 2026: evening rush hour, ramp closed and traffic backed up

Roadmap

The High Five interchange is one of the most heavily traveled junctions where the LBJ Freeway meets U.S. 75 in North Dallas, so a single overturned car there ripples into citywide congestion. Incidents at this kind of interchange show how a lone crash below an elevated ramp can strain the wider highway network during peak hours.

Drivers using the eastbound LBJ to southbound U.S. 75 connection should expect delays and plan alternate routes until the ramp reopens. Commuters in North Dallas may want to allow extra time for evening trips while the closure remains in effect.

The takeaway

Even a single overturned vehicle at a major interchange can quickly back up rush-hour traffic across a wide area. Checking traffic updates before evening commutes helps drivers avoid unexpected closures.
