Ice Causes Semi to Over Turn in Kansas City; No Injuries Reported

At Roswold Law Group, we know one of the scariest things facing many motorists in Kansas and Missouri is sharing the road or especially the highway with a big rig truck.  With winter weather beginning to flare its ugly side, motorists and truckers alike need to take extra care when caution so wet and slipper conditions aren't a factor in causing a serious injury accident.

 

Police think ice may have caused a semi-truck trailer to lose control and roll over in Kansas City early this morning.  The semi-truck accident happened just after 3:30 a.m. at I-470 near the exit split to U.S. 71 and I-435.  No one was hurt in the crash.  The truck didn't lose its payload but the highway was shut down for nearly three hours to clear the big rig wreckage.

 

 

 

The experienced Kansas City Trucking Accident and Injury Attorneys of Roswold Law Group know that a large majority of the trucking community is doing a great job of ensuring each driver is properly trained to drive and handle the pressures of operating such a large and potentially dangerous vehicle like the big rig truck.  The next few months aren't going to help.  Winter weather plays a major factor in driving conditions and makes it even harder for our truck drivers.

 

With that being said, we also know that there is a long way to go before the roads are safe from dangerous and serious injury accidents involving big rig trucks and hope that all truck drivers are committed to continually improving and sharpening their driving techniques.
