Common Causes of Semi-truck Crashes
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), crashes with large commercial trucks in the US cause catastrophic injuries to passenger vehicles because of:
- Aggressive Behavior – Aggressive behavior by any driver involved in a crash could result in serious injuries or wrongful death of innocent drivers or passengers.
- Distracted Driving – Any distraction like speaking on a smartphone or sending text messages is prohibited by law and creates a dangerous scenario for everyone sharing the roadway.
- Drowsy Driving – Operating a commercial vehicle over long hours can cause drowsy driving, which could lead to catastrophic harm to innocent victims.
- Driving Under the Influence – Truckers must avoid consuming alcohol or taking illegal drugs, including stimulants, which can create a dangerous scenario for all those sharing the road.
- Moving Hazardous Material Cargo – Statistics show that approximately 3% of all large commercial vehicle fatal accidents involve the transport of hazardous materials. Flammable liquids, including gasoline and fuel oil, account for more than 60% of the hazardous materials that are released during a fatal crash.
Sometimes, the commercial vehicle driver will cause a crash because of their erratic movements or failure to ensure there was a substantial distance between their vehicle and those sharing the roadway. In these cases, judges and juries often find that the trucker and the trucking company is legally responsible for causing the crash and must pay all expenses and costs associated with the victim’s recovery or injuries.

Roadrunner Transport Accidents
Many of the most catastrophic accidents occurring on American interstate are caused by commercial trucks and cargo vans, accounting for over 5000 deaths each year. Many of these horrific accidents could have been avoided if the truck driver followed the rules and regulations mandated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
Roadrunner Transport, like all commercial vehicle companies in the trucking industry, most insured out all their customers’ shipments arrive on time and unscheduled. This increased demand for on-time delivery places a heavy burden on truckers who must work long hours to fulfill their job obligations. Unfortunately, the added pressure results in preventable accidents. A small sampling of recent Roadrunner Transport accidents includes:
- Accident on August 17, 2019 – The Texas Department of Public Safety reported a one-vehicle crash involving a Roadrunner Transportation semi-tractor-trailer on a two-way road in rural Gillespie County, Texas. The accident resulted in one injury.
- Crash on July 30, 2019 – The Texas Department of Public Safety reported a three-vehicle crash on a divided two-way road in rural Harrison County, Texas, on a wet roadway during daylight hours. The accident has one injury.
