Drivers in Fort Worth were put in far greater danger than
many realized earlier this week when an 18-wheeler driver lost control of his
big rig, turning over and spilling 300 gallons of fuel on the roadway as well
as thousands of pounds of lumber. With temperatures and risk running high,
everyone involved was fortunate that the combustible situation didn’t turn into
a dangerous, destructive, and potentially deadly inferno.
18-wheelers carry not only a lot of weight, but a lot of
risk – for drivers and other motorists alike. Although they represent only 3
percent of America’s vehicles, they account for nearly half a million accident annually.
Whether a trucking accident is caused by driver carelessness, a tire blowout,
or a poorly rigged load, these collisions are often serious for everyone
involved.
