The new information concerns the massive pileup on I-35W in February 2021.

Nearly two years ago, six people died and 36 others were hurt after more than 130 vehicles slammed into each other on the frozen freeway.Each of those vehicles was southbound on I-35W at about 6 a.m. on Feb. 11, 2021, when, just past the NE 28Many of those vehicles were trapped between the concrete barriers that wall off the southbound managed toll lane, so there was no practical way for them to avoid crashing into the vehicles in front of them.

The NTSB released 1,400 pages of documents, including interviews with witnesses and first responders, details about the speeds of cars, and the treatment of the roads leading up to the pileup.North Tarrant Express Mobility Partners, the organization that built and maintains that stretch of road, also submitted its own findings.

The report reveals that the average speed in one of the lanes on I-35 topped 100 miles an hour just before the pile-up began.
