Tractor Trailer Accidents in Georgia
Tractor trailers serve an important purpose for those living in Georgia and across the country by transporting a variety of products to wherever they need to go. The drivers of these vehicles have a demanding task. They are confined to a specific spot and need to watch the road in order to keep themselves and others safe. But these drivers often feel a lot of pressure to work long hours in order to get the job done, and for many that means sacrificing sleep or even turning to drugs in order to buy more hours in the day and on the road. But this practice is a recipe for disaster.
Over the past several months there have been at least two high profile cases in the news involving tractor trailers. In June of 2014, in a Walmart tractor trailer accident, a truck driver hit a limousine in New Jersey. One man in the limousine died, and injured sacrificing others including actor/comedian Tracy Morgan who is best known for his work on Saturday Night Live and the hit show 30 Rock. It was suspected that the driver had been awake for 24 hours at the time of the crash. Morgan’s injuries required surgery, and kept him in the hospital for several weeks.
On the other side of the country, in Northern California, there was a Fed Ex tractor crash in April, 2014. In this case the Fed Ex tractor collided with a bus carrying 44 Southern California students from Southern California to a college on California’s north coast. In the crash 5 students, 3 chaperones, and the drivers of both vehicles died, and several others were injured. These injuries were more than physical. One of the 18 year old students had been lauded for his part in rescuing more than a dozen passengers would up plagued by nightmares.
