A recent four vehicle truck accident in Republic, Mo shows how vulnerable innocent drivers are to semi-truck drivers who fail to follow the laws concerning commerical vehicles. A 18 wheel truck driver name Lei Sun, a Chinese citizen from California, is alleged to have crashed into another semi-truck and two passenger vehicles. As a result of the truck accident, Corey Gresham, 41, of Macon, and Lawrence Coan Jr., 65, of Kimberling City, Missouri were killed. The probable cause statement released by the Missouri Highway Patrol alleges that the truck driver, Sun, failed to stop at the traffic signal, and was going 59 MPH at the time of impact. Also, it appears fatigue was a probable factor as the driver’s truck log showed him driving over 70 hours in the last seven days. As Springfield Mo truck accident lawyers, we all to often see truck drivers who are fatigued, failing to pay attention, or speeding. A key to large commercial truck accidents is preserving evidence related to the accident. Hiring a lawyer is always an important decision, but in large commercial truck cases it is even more critical to hire an experienced truck accident lawyer as quickly as possible. Our sympathies go out to the families involved in this accident. Update: The truck driver has now been criminally charged for his reckless and dangerous driving.
