According to officials, the truck driver that caused a crash that sent a vehicle plummeting off the Bay Bridge will be fined and charged for the truck accident.
The July 19 crash started a chain reaction that sent a vehicle, driven by a 24-year-old woman, over 25 feet off the Bay Bridge and into the water. The young driver stated that she is still suffering psychologically from the terrifying fall.
The National Transportation Safety Board released a report stating that the truck driver’s error caused the crash when he briefly looked away from the road and lost control of the truck. According to authorities, the truck driver is originally from Hungary, and was driving in the U.S. for the first time when the crash occurred.
The Dangers of Truck Driver Errors
The sole cause of this frightening collision was truck driver error. The truck driver’s lack of experience and his company’s failure to supervise and train him resulted in this accident.
Because large trucks outweigh smaller passenger vehicles by as much as 25 times, crashes between the two often result in wrongful death.
