One Hurt in Highway 62 Lumber Truck Accident in Ozark, Arkansas


OZARK, AR — A truck driver was hurt after a lumber truck accident that happened in Ozark, Arkansas on Wednesday, April 15th, 2015. Area news reports did not pin down the exact time of the crash in their initial releases.

One man was hurt when the lumber truck he was driving crashed and rolled on Highway 62. Authorities did not say exactly what happened in the accident, but added that the lumber the truck was hauling spilled out onto the roadway in the crash.

The driver of the truck was taken to a nearby hospital by first responders. An update on his condition was unavailable.

Local Police are helping determine what happened in the accident.

Scene of the Accident

Commentary:

Does anybody know what caused the truck to crash in the first place? Was there another vehicle on the road that was driving erratically? Did the load of lumber perhaps shift because it was improperly secured on the truck, shifting the weight and momentum of the vehicle into a serious rollover accident? There are a lot of possibilities and very few details reported in the news, so if anybody has a better clue as to what happened, I’d be interested to hear what they know.

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.
