Missouri semi truck crash: hazardous loads may endanger the public
A semi truck carrying a load of ammunition overturned on westbound I-44 near Hazelgreen, Missouri.
The large truck crash occurred shortly before 6am on Friday, March 5. The cause of the wreck has not been determined. The westbound big rig went off the road, struck a guard rail, and careened at least 25 feet up an embankment. It knocked down several trees, tearing them out of the ground. The truck then slid down the embankment and rolled on to the driver’s side landing in a ditch.
The driver, Ronald D. Walden, 53, of Hermann, had to be extricated from the truck. He was taken to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
The truck was carrying a load of small-arms ammunition. One of the fuel tanks had ruptured, but firefighters disconnected the trucks electrical systems to prevent a danger to the public.
Fortunately, in this case, only the truck was involved in the accident.
Our roadways are full of trucks carrying dangerous cargo. Truck drivers must follow strict regulations to ensure they deliver their loads safely. However, with strict timelines, it is tempting for drivers to skimp on sleep and drive at higher speeds. This poses a danger to everyone on the road.
