I-635 in Texas recorded 25 deaths in large-truck crashes during 2020 to 2024, alongside 86 deaths from all fatal crashes assigned to the route. Large-truck crash deaths represented 29.1% of all route deaths. The segment recorded 24 fatal large-truck crashes during that period. These truck accident figures count everyone killed in the qualifying crashes, including people who were not occupants of the large truck. Death counts and fatal-crash counts are distinct measures.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

For I-635 in Texas, a truck accident means a fatal crash involving at least one medium or heavy truck with a gross vehicle weight rating greater than 10,000 pounds, excluding buses and motor homes. Assignment uses the crash-level route fields: ROUTE=1 and a parseable I-route number in TWAY_ID. Those recorded fields identify route signing and crash location; they do not describe the highway's full geographic extent or establish responsibility for a crash.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

I-635 truck accident deaths in Texas by year

Annual truck accident deaths on I-635 in Texas were 1 in 2020, 8 in 2021, 8 in 2022, 2 in 2023 and 6 in 2024. The highest count was shared by 2021 and 2022; 2020 had the lowest. Deaths rose from 2020 to 2021, remained unchanged in 2022, fell in 2023 and rose in 2024.[1][2][3][4][5]

All-route deaths followed a different annual sequence: 14 in 2020, 24 in 2021, 22 in 2022, 12 in 2023 and 14 in 2024. For that measure, 2021 was highest and 2023 was lowest. The 2020 and 2024 counts were equal. Both series count deaths by crash year, rather than the number of fatal crashes. The 2024 truck accident and all-route figures use the Annual Report File.[1][2][3][4][5]

Tarrant County recorded 3 deaths, representing 12.0%. Among the listed rows, Dallas County ranked highest for both deaths and share, followed by Tarrant County.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

These county figures describe the locations recorded for fatal crashes on I-635 in Texas during 2020 to 2024. They are not counts of deaths among county residents. Each share uses the Texas route total as its denominator, rather than the route-wide total across states. The county breakdown counts truck accident deaths, not the number of trucks involved.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

How the truck crashes on I-635 happened

Rear-end crashes accounted for 12 deaths, or 48.0%, the largest death count among the listed manner-of-collision rows. Angle (side impact) crashes recorded 3 deaths, or 12.0%.

I-635 in other states

Across all states, I-635 recorded 27 deaths in large-truck crashes during 2020 to 2024, with deaths recorded in 3 states. Texas accounted for 25 deaths and 92.6% of that separately supplied route-wide total. The Texas share therefore describes the distribution of recorded truck accident deaths across the route.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

The other-state table displays "No other state segment met the threshold" with 0. That entry identifies no named state segment for comparison; it does not mean the route-wide count equals the Texas count. The listed other-state rows are a subset, not the route total. These truck accident counts supply no traffic-adjusted risk ranking and cannot establish relative risk per trip or mile.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

About these figures

For I-635 in Texas, FARS supplies a census of fatal motor vehicle traffic crashes, excluding nonfatal crashes and injuries. Inclusion requires a motor vehicle on a trafficway customarily open to the public and a death within 30 days. State and county fields locate crashes, not residences.[8][6][7]

Crash-level ROUTE and TWAY_ID fields assign the Texas I-635 counts without mapping the highway's full extent. Large-truck involvement does not establish fault. The 2020 to 2023 records are Final Files; the 2024 Annual Report File remains revisable when replaced by a Final File. Readers searching for a truck accident lawyer should read these truck accident statistics as location-based fatal-crash counts, with deaths distinguished from crashes.[8][6][7]
