Description:

On Wednesday, January 22, 2020, a 52-year-old male commercial truck driver (victim) was traveling on a Kentucky interstate en route to an out-of-state destination. The semi-truck to veered to the left, off of the roadway. The driver overcorrected as he approached an overpass, struck a guardrail and overturned coming to final rest on the surface street below. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS - Key contributing factors identified in this investigation include: 1) Possible distracted driving; 2) Possible fatigue; 3) Possible driver inattention. RECOMMENDATIONS - Kentucky FACE investigators concluded that, to help prevent similar occurrences, employers should: 1) Commercial carriers should implement lane departure warning technology in fleet trucks. 2) The Federal Highway Department should consider installing concrete barriers in areas which lead to overpasses. 3) Commercial carriers should install forward and driver facing cameras in fleet trucks. 4) Companies who require employees to drive should implement a distracted driving policy and associated training.
