Tennessee Tractor-Trailer Accident Attorney Asks – “What Was The Driver Doing When She Ran Into Stopped Interstate Traffic?”
Fatal Tractor Trailer Accident
I wonder what could have diverted the attention of a Tractor-trailer driver to the extent that she wasn’t aware that traffic on the interstate in front of her had stopped. I mean, what about the rear-end of another tractor-trailer with it’s brake lights on? This driver is going to have an opportunity to give this question some serious thought, you see, she had her 3-year-old grand-daughter with her and she was killed. What could it have been? Was she talking on her cell phone, texting, fooling with a CB, GPS, Radio, CD or god forbid, a DVD player.
Distraction from the primary task of driving could present a serious and potentially deadly danger. In 2008, 5,870 people lost their lives and an estimated 515,000 people were injured in police-reported crashes in which at least one form of driver distraction was reported on the crash report. While these numbers are significant, they may not state the true size of the problem, since the identification of distraction and its role in the crash by law enforcement can be very difficult.
