What Causes Truck Crashes In Kentucky?
Many collisions involving 18-wheelers happen because of something the truck driver did — or failed to do. In a 2007 study, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration divided the source of truck accidents into four categories:
- Performance, or taking mistaken actions, like overcompensating after drifting into the wrong lane
- Nonperformance, or failing to take necessary action due to drowsiness or a medical emergency
- Recognition, or a driver being too distracted, such as by a cellphone, to notice the conditions for a dangerous accident
- Decision, or a driver deliberately driving dangerously, such as by speeding or following the vehicle in front of them too closely
Whenever a truck driver makes one of these critical errors, everyone on the road around them is in danger.
