WICHITA FALLS ( KFDX/KJTL ) — A major freeway in Wichita Falls is closed as crews respond to reports of multiple crashes on Friday evening.

Multiple agencies, including the Wichita Falls Police Department and the Wichita Falls Fire Department, responded to at least three wrecks on Kell Freeway West on Friday, October 11, 2024, beginning just after 5 p.m.

According to our crew on the scene, the westbound lanes of the freeway are closed beginning at Harrison Street, causing major traffic delays as authorities respond to three separate accidents.

As of 5:50 p.m., traffic appears to be backed up from Harrison Street, onto the flyover and on Central Freeway.

The first call came in at around 5:10 p.m. in reference to a pin-in accident at Kell Freeway West and Harrison Street. Another call came in at 5:19 p.m. for an accident at Kell Freeway West and Taft Boulevard, less than a mile from the first crash.

At this time, it is unknown if any occupants of any vehicles involved in the crashes suffered any injuries.

Our crew on the scene is working to gather more information. An update to this story will be published when the freeway opens back up.
