According to law enforcement, a tractor-trailer overturned along Route 130 in Logan Township. The incident closed a portion of the route early Monday morning as crews worked to secure the scene.
Little insight was provided about what took place, but helicopters overhead saw the tractor-trailer tip over. It eventually landed in the marshy area along the roadway. There was no indication of what could have caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle. The truck driver did not suffer injuries and was not taken to the hospital after the accident.
Various Factors Can Cause a Truck Accident
Tractor-trailer accidents are some of the most devastating and complex because of the amount of damage they can cause. However, it is up to the victim and their attorney to gather all the available evidence to determine what caused the accident. Examples may include truck driver distraction, fatigue, or cargo in the back of the tractor-trailer shifting because it was not secured properly. Driver impairment, faulty brakes, or even poorly maintained trucks can also increase the risk of incidents like this.
