Description:

On Monday, September 30, 2019, a 68-year-old male commercial truck driver (the victim) was traveling on a state maintained, two-lane highway travelling to a Kentucky based business. While en route, the driver lost control of the truck and trailer, struck a W-beam guardrail, and overturned into an embankment. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS - Key contributing factors identified in this investigation include: 1. Traveling too fast for terrain. 2. Failing to inspect equipment. 3. Operating equipment with inadequate brakes. RECOMMENDATIONS - Kentucky FACE investigator concluded that, to help prevent similar occurrences, employers should: 1. Commercial motor vehicle operators should adjust speed to safely match adverse terrain conditions. 2. CMV operators should complete driver vehicle inspection reports on all equipment prior to operating commercial vehicles. 3. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet should consider assigning commercial vehicle-specific speed limits to state highways.
