What's worse than a distracted driver? A distracted semi truck driver. That's what the driver of a semi that flipped over during the morning commute claimed was the reason for his crash; he was distracted. This crash involved three other cars, causing minor injuries to their passengers, and a two mile backup.
Luckily, no one was hurt, but what about this guys job? The company he drives for hasn't released a statement about the crash. Is the fact that he was distracted an acceptable excuse for causing such a mess? If I was the company I would make a statement apologizing to those involved in the crash and everyone that had to sit through two hours of traffic that morning. I would look into the real reason this guy was 'distracted' and go on from there. If he was on his phone or doing something else that was obviously taking his attention off the road he would not be driving for my company anymore.
