On a dark and stormy night, a semi-tractor/trailer rounded a tight curve and suddenly lost control. The trailer crossed the center line and collided with an oncoming semi-tractor/trailer in the opposing lanes of traffic. The devastating damage indicated the encroaching trailer had buried itself into the opposing tractor’s cab, crushing the driver.
Initially deemed a driver error, a perceptive forensic investigator later found critical evidence: the improperly secured cargo inside the striking trailer had shifted, redirecting the tilting trailer into oncoming lanes. The root cause was improper load securing during packaging, not driver error.
