On Wednesday night, the cargo apparently shifted in an 18-wheeler as it tried to merge onto I-10 in Baytown, Texas from the Texas 330 Spur. The sudden cargo shift sent the tractor-trailer into a rollover that left it lying on the driver’s side in the I-10 East frontage road. To get the 18-wheeler upright again, responders to the scene had to unload the cargo, a process that took several hours. (Source: khou.com, 3/28/13)

Inadequately Secured Truck Cargo can Suddenly Shift to cause 18-Wheeler Wrecks, Serious Injuries, and Fatalities

Our I-10 18-wheeler accident lawyers note that about six months ago in a similar accident to the one in Baytown, another truck rollover resulted when a trucker tried to secure a 48,000-pound load with restraints designed to hold only 30,000 pounds. The load shifted and overcame the capacity of its restraints while the truck driver was negotiating a curve. The resulting wreck bent the frame of the tractor-trailer and took several hours to clean up. Click here to read more about that truck accident and the dangers of inadequately secured truck cargo.
