Highway Hazards: Dangerous Trucks With hundreds of thousands of heavy trucks traveling our highways it is no surprise to find that these vehicles are often the cause of many crashes that result in serious injury or death.
One of the most common causes of trucking accidents is the truck driver who has been driving too long without the rest and sleep required by U.S. Department of Transportation rules. Driving while fatigued is just as dangerous as driving under the influence and is a clear safety risk. Actually that applies to the drivers of other motor vehicles as well as to truck drivers.
Recently an Arkansas jury awarded $7million to the family of a truck driver who was killed when his truck was struck by another truck whose driver had been driving too long in violation of the rules and who also had a bad driving record.
