Commentary on Maria Irma Solis Truck Accident in Amarillo
We've all seen those drivers that simply whip into traffic or block lanes without any awareness of their surroundings. Most of the time, they're either just irresponsible or in a hurry and taking risks. With commercial vehicles, it's especially important to consider the latter possibility, since there could be bigger issues to address.
An accident I looked into a while back is a good example of why a mistake can be a sign of a more serious problem than a shoddy or hasty case can't properly correct. In that situation, a truck driver rushing to meet a ludicrous deadline drove for over 20 hours straight, leading to a serious collision. His employer would constantly coerce drivers to meet these deadlines, expecting them to cut every possible corner or else risk losing their jobs. It was just a matter of time before someone got hurt, and it was only a matter of time before their behavior would hurt more people.
Without a proper investigation into a situation like that, the problems that led to the crash could simply continue. Making sure all of the facts are brought to light allows for the consequences to match the mistakes, therefore getting folks the help they need while also ensuring there is accountability for all the chaos. Are any steps like that being taken here?
