UPDATE: Dempsey Parker Injured in Tractor-Trailer Accidnet on Route 40 in Harmony Township, Ohio

HARMONY TOWNSHIP, OH — A collision between two tractor-trailers sent one truck driver to the hospital in Harmony Township, Ohio on Tuesday, July 22nd, 2014, according to the news report from WDTN.

Police believe that Dempsey Parker was hurt when the tractor-trailer he was sleeping in was struck by another tractor-trailer while driving on Route 40 just before 10:00 Tuesday morning.

Scene of the Accident

 

 

Dempsey Parker was pinned in the vehicle after the crash and was taken by paramedics to Miami Valley Hospital where an update on his condition was not currently available.

The driver of the other tractor-trailer was identified as Gurvinder Bajwa, who was immediately unhurt after the accident.

The Ohio State Police was assisting the Columbus Fire Department with the crash investigation.

Commentary:

In this accident there is a potential legal argument for both trucks. On one side of the coin, we have a potentially illegally parked tractor-trailer in the emergency lane of a highway while the driver grabbed some shut-eye in the back of the truck. If this truck was parked illegally, there could be some liability here. On the other hand, if the rear tractor-trailer swerved off the road and struck a stationary vehicle in the emergency lane, there is also potential fault on his shoulders. It all depends on a number of factors, but this is one of those accidents where I believe a second look is warranted.

I'm a former employee. I had brought up this exact scenario and suggested a maintenance procedure that would eliminate the possibility of this type injury. Obviously my warning went unheeded.

I was actually a couple cars back from this wreck, one of the first on the scene, and helped administer CPR on the victims. The truck driver was going way too fast, but it was actually his trailer that swung around and hit the suv, the semi-truck ended in the median.

A lot of people say smack about lawyers, but I want to say that I'm glad there is a way that people who are wronged by corporate neglect can get justice and force change. We are living in a world where corporations and govt care less than ever about common people, and I support your work. I hope I will never need your services.

Thank you for posting these accident articles on your site. At the company that I work for, e deal with monitoring construction activity and work around trenches and all sorts of construction equipment/vehicles. I sometimes wonder if construction companies have enough safety training to inform employees of how to protect themselves while on the job.
