A cement truck driver lost control of his truck on I-65 in Louisville, Kentucky last week and crashed into a Kentucky Air National Guard building. It appears that the brakes on his truck may have gone out. The truck crossed four lanes of interstate traffic, drove through a fence into the building. Negligent maintenance of trucks is a leading cause of truck accidents on our roadways. Companies must be held accountable for proper maintenance and inspection of their semi tractor-trailers. Regular checks on the brakes, lights, and tires must be conducted to make sure large trucks are safe for the roadway.
