Tractor-Trailer Accident Reported on Interstate 5 in Elk Grove, California


ELK GROVE, CA — A hit-and-run accident reportedly involved a tractor-trailer in Elk Grove, California on Tuesday, September 2nd, 2014, according to the report released by KCRA.

California State Police say that a tractor-trailer and other vehicles collided under unknown circumstances while driving on Interstate 5. The truck involved in the accident did not stay at the scene.

The report does not mention any injuries or fatalities attributed to the accident, nor does it mention how many vehicles were involved or their placement in the road at the time of the accident.

Authorities are still investigating the accident.

Scene of the Accident

Commentary:

While there are no injuries outlined in this news report, just in case there were, they, or those in their position may wonder what can be done in a hit-and-run accident like this one. Unfortunately there isnt a great deal that can be done until the driver of the truck is found, or the company running the rig is uncovered. When and if the truck and driver are found, the goal should then focus on why they ran from the accident scene. While there is a possibility that the driver never felt the accident in the big truck, there is also a possibility that the driver was attempting to hide something, and both possibilities need to be explored with the same care.

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.
