Like with any vehicle, there are a lot of reasons one may lose control suddenly. Those factors aren't always avoidable. Folks tend to just blame the drivers in these situations, but that's likely because they haven't seen all of the unusual factors that can suddenly crop up. In fact, semi-trucks can be even more complex, which any experienced truck driver will attest to.
