A FedEx delivery truck was engulfed in flames on US 75 in Sherman on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, after the vehicle was involved in a collision. The incident occurred near the Shepherd Drive exit, where the 18-wheeler became fully ablaze.
The fire and the initial crash brought significant disruption to the highway. By the time four hours had passed since the initial accident, northbound lanes remained closed to through traffic. Drivers traveling in that direction were forced to divert onto the adjacent service road to bypass the scene.
Details regarding the specific cause of the crash or the condition of any drivers involved were not provided in the initial reports. It is not yet clear when the northbound lanes would fully reopen or if any injuries were sustained in the incident.
Emergency crews responded to the scene to manage the fire and the resulting traffic delays. The closure impacted travel along this major corridor in Sherman for several hours after the event began.
