The city describes this as current active traffic accidents, updated every five minutes. Record-update times are shown; an empty result has no record timestamp with which to confirm source freshness.

FORT WORTH ROAD SAFETY CONTEXT · 2019–2023 DATA
Fort Worth’s August 19, 2025 Vision Zero presentation analyzes reported crashes from 2019 through 2023. It finds that roads outside the TxDOT system accounted for 47% of fatal and serious-injury crashes, despite representing 16% of vehicle miles traveled.
The same analysis found that bicycle, pedestrian, and motorcycle crashes together represented 4% of all crashes but 34% of fatal and serious-injury crashes.
These historical findings explain why local streets and vulnerable road users matter alongside freeway alerts. They are not 2026 totals, and the percentages describe different measures; they should not be added together.

CBS TEXAS · OCTOBER 20, 2026
A pursuit ended in a crash; one person was critically injured.
External reporting, not an Accident Advisory investigation. The publication date does not establish current lane conditions. Consult the source for follow-up information.
FWPD’s current crash-report page directs requestors to the TxDOT Crash Report Online Purchase System, effective December 15, 2024. Follow the link on that official page and review eligibility and payment requirements before ordering.
The department says a crash may take up to 14 days to appear in search results. If you still cannot find it after that period, FWPD directs you to its Police Records unit at 817-392-4160.
FWPD current crash-report instructions ↗
Check your crash date, the spelling of the involved names, and the agency shown on the officer’s card. Keep a copy of your search details before contacting Records. An empty search result does not prove that no report was made, and a traffic-map entry does not mean a completed report is ready.
DriveTexas provides an official route for checking reported road conditions and closures. Use its county and roadway filters for the part of your trip you need to review. For example, distinguish I-35W from I-35E when describing a location; the interstate number alone may not identify the correct road.

If you need a different record, describe that record specifically when contacting the department. An insurance claim number, a police incident number, and a crash-report search are different identifiers and processes. Keep all three clearly labeled in your claim file.
Use the investigating agency rather than the nearest major city. For a Dallas Police investigation, our Dallas guide explains the city’s records-request route. For another department, begin with that agency’s official instructions or the statewide resources in the Texas hub.
Our Texas resource hub covers statewide report access and general lawsuit deadlines. City resources do not change the statewide rules. Use the accident checklist to organize next steps and the expense tracker to separate documented costs from estimates.
