A tanker truck accident on a major highway caused significant injuries and a shutdown of the highway. A tanker truck carrying 10,000 gallos of gasoline overturned and spilled a significant amount of gasoline on the roadway. Accident injury victims were taken to several local hospitals.
My wishes for a speedy recovery go out to the accident injury victims. Although police are still investigating the cause of the accident, it is clear that there are no minor accidents with the large tanker trucks that travel our major highways. Motorists who escape the actual collision are still in peril from the spilling gasoline and other toxic substances.
Victims of tanker truck accidents should consult with an experienced truck accident lawyer as soon as possible after the accident so that a prompt investigation can be started. It is essential to photograph the roadway and vehicles, track down witnesses, and have an accident reconstruction expert do an analysis of the facts and data to assist with determining liability for the accident.
