A Georgia State Patrol spokesman reported the truck driver was heading eastbound and drifted off the road, hit a guardrail at Georgia highway 338 and went down an embankment.
This tragedy points up one of the most common causes of severe injury or death which resulted from negligent or reckless driving of 18 wheelers and other large trucks.
Too often the truck driver is over fatigued or simply fails to concentrate and stay in his lane of traffic.The slightest movement into a car in an adjacent lane by these dangerous rigs can lead to horrifying results. These "drifting" trucks causing mayhem, injury and death have been the cause of many cases our Atlanta, Georgia truck accident law firm has handled for victims.
The sad truth is many truckers are unqualified, over tired and not properly trained by trucking companies.
