A truck driver is dead after his tractor-trailer rolled over Tuesday afternoon on I-55 North near Portageville, Mo. According to an officer at the scene, witnesses said the trailer began to veer off the right side of the road and when the driver appeared to correct his path he lost control of the vehicle and rolled over several times. The driver, whose name has yet to be released, received major head trauma and a cut on his arm. He was placed into an ambulance but medics were unable to save him. Photo provided by SEMO News Service

br549 no in most cases it is not the "trucker" who is to blame althogh that is who gets the blame. There could have been something that went wrong with the trailor brakes or something there is a million things that happen in a car everyday as well as the semi trucks that provide the services to us so before pointing the finger make sure all of the story is known
I saw that wreck scene. I suspected a death. Maybe not this trucker, but assuredly many truckers are terrible drivers. Do you agree?
