The tractor trailer was the only vehicle involved in the wreck. Fortunately, the driver received only minor injuries and no one else was hurt.
Bahe Cook Cantley & Jones semi-truck accident lawyer Larry Jones says, "Trucking companies have a tendency to push their drivers to work with little or no sleep --despite laws requiring that the drivers get a certain amount of sleep. Their desire to work the drivers through the night stems from their desire to put more profits in their pockets. Unfortunately, numerous people are killed every year because of the reckless conduct by the trucking companies and their employees."
