As Phoenix truck accident attorneys, we are concerned to learn about a tractor trailer rollover on Interstate 10 at SR 85 on the morning of January 19, according to Fox 10. The truck was leaking fuel and crews attempted to control the spillage. There is no information at this point if there were other cars involved or who was injured. We hope the crews can contain the spill and that no one was seriously hurt.
Causes of This Phoenix Truck Accident
As Phoenix truck accident lawyers, we often see rollover crashes like this caused by other drivers who swerve in front of the truck, make unsafe lane changes, or even sideswipe the trucks, causing the truck drivers to overcorrect and roll. We also see crashes caused by truck driver fatigue or distracted driving which leads to overcorrecting for mistakes. Cases like this should be properly investigated to find out who is at fault and what can be done to prevent any more accidents like it.
