Two tractor trailers owned by Boyd Brothers crash in separate accidents at same spot in Charlotte, NC.

On Friday, July 2, two tractor trailers owned by Boyd Brothers were involved in separate accidents at the same spot in Charlotte, NC.  The incidents happened at the ramp where southbound I-85 merges into I-77.  Early news reports state that the first accident occurred at approximately 5:00 a.m.  A truck driver carrying approximately 4,000 pounds of coiled steel lost control of his vehicle on the ramp and rolled over.  The steel spilled out onto the interstate.  The driver suffered minor injuries in the crash, but was not hospitalized.  Approximately two hours later, the accident had been cleaned up and the road was reopened.  Then, at roughly noon on the same day, another Boyd Brothers tractor trailer carrying coiled steel crashed on the same ramp.  The driver of the tractor trailer said that he had trouble navigating the ramp.  Thankfully, the second driver did not receive any injuries in the crash.  Police have not yet released the names of the drivers.  The accidents remains under investigation, as police try to determine how they both occurred.

As a Texas attorney practicing for 20 years, I have litigated all manner of personal injury cases. I use this blog as a place to write opinion / editorial articles on a variety of topics that catch my interest and as a means of sharing news stories relevant to personal injury accidents. I think the overwhelming majority of people are unaware just how common these types of accidents are and I hope this blog raises awareness to rather serious public safety concerns. However, this blog is simply a means for me to share my opinions and I would recommend that anyone who is considering seeking legal counsel should contact their family attorney.
