Rain fell across North Texas this week, causing wet streets and dangerous driving conditions. Yesterday these risky conditions combined with reckless driving to result in the untimely death of Regina Raquel Duane, a 43-year-old mother. Ms. Duane was killed – and her 15-year-old child injured – when an 18-wheeler struck their pickup truck.
Every year, 18-wheelers cause considerably more property damage and personal injury than most drivers realize. At 80,000 pounds, 40 times the weight of the average car, these behemoths of the highway are difficult to steer and impossible to stop quickly in wet conditions. If 18-wheeler drivers are improperly trained or driving carelessly, it’s passenger drivers who are most likely to pay the price – and that price is often high!
