DALLAS, Dallas County, Texas, Nov. 10, 2026 — One person died on Monday afternoon, November 9, after a two-vehicle crash near Dallas' High Five interchange left a car overturned beneath an elevated highway ramp, according to Dallas police. The crash happened near northbound North Central Expressway and Midpark Road at about 4:04 p.m., police said.
A preliminary investigation found that two vehicles collided, and one vehicle left the roadway and went into a ditch. Dallas Fire-Rescue responded and pronounced one driver dead at the scene.
Aerial footage from the scene showed a badly damaged car flipped upside down beneath a ramp at the interchange, which rises roughly 100 feet above ground level. The ramp connecting LBJ Freeway to northbound US 75 was closed following the crash, and state transportation cameras showed heavy backups near the interchange through the evening commute.
