Phoenix Semi Accident Proves Fatal

Recently in Phoenix, Arizona, a man died in a collision involving a semi tractor-trailer rig. The accident took place early in the morning, around 4 am. The semi was traveling southbound on the 17 at about 60 miles per hour, not speeding or driving recklessly. The accident took place when a man driving a Saturn sedan entered the freeway and the driver of the semi failed to notice him. The semi-truck driver struck the driver's side of the sedan, killing the driver instantly, while not sustaining any injuries himself.

This is a prime example of the seriousness of truck accidents. Far too many accidents happen due to the negligence of truck drivers. In this case, the truck driver could have been suffering from fatigue, since it was early in the morning. Some truck drivers are also inexperienced and aren't as aware of how to navigate blind spots. Many factors can constitute negligence, so even though the truck driver wasn't speeding or drinking, he still caused an accident that proved fatal.
