Gainesville, FL, 8/23/05.
A tractor trailer crashed into the rear of a PT Cruiser that had slowed for traffic congestion on I-75, crushing that vehicle and pushing it into a pickup truck. The driver of the PT Cruiser, which was crushed and burned beyond recognition, was killed.
The crash occured about 11:30 PM. Driver fatigue is a major problem in the trucking industry. Sleep medicine specialists are often helpful in connecting drivers’ hours of service violations with causation of such crashes.
