On September 7, 2026, a Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Trooper in Parker County observed a white GMC Terrain traveling westbound on Interstate 20 in the Weatherford area at speeds exceeding 100 mph and committing several additional traffic violations.

When the Trooper attempted to conduct a traffic stop, the driver fled and continued westbound on I-20. Near the intersection of I-20 and U.S. 180, the GMC struck a vehicle and continued fleeing. The collision caused damage to the vehicles, but no injuries.

Near Ric Williamson Memorial Highway, the driver exited I-20 and then attempted to re-enter the highway by traveling through the bar ditch. The GMC struck a culvert and came to rest on I-20, blocking the westbound lanes.

The driver, who was the sole occupant of the GMC, was airlifted by CareFlite to a Fort Worth hospital with serious injuries.

The incident remains under investigation.

Shortly after, a southbound SUV and a southbound pickup truck were involved in a crash with objects in the roadway. The driver and passenger of the pickup truck, along with a passenger from the SUV, exited their vehicles and were standing in the roadway when they were struck by another vehicle.
