Idaho State Police reported a rollover semi truck accident on Interstate 84 near the New Plymouth exit in Payette County near Boise. Officials say the semi truck driver was heading westbound when he went off the right shoulder of the road and overturned. The tractor and trailer of the semi truck came to rest on its passenger side. The passenger riding in the semi truck at the time of the accident was injured and taken to a nearby medical center for evaluation of injuries. It was reported that the driver was wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident and was not injured.
Only 3.3 percent of all semi truck accidents are rollover crashes. However, these types of semi truck accidents are among the deadliest types of truck accidents that can occur on the highway. A harsh reality is that large commercial semi trucks are a danger to all drivers around them when they rollover.
A study done by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration found that out of 239 crashes investigated, almost half were caused by failure to slow down for turns or curved roads. The high level of centrifugal force causes the semi truck to become unbalanced causing the truck to flip over.
Another common reason for rollover semi truck accidents is driver’s error. Distraction, inattention, or steering issues are all common reasons for rollover semi truck accidents. Inexperienced or tired trucks drivers are also common reasons for semi truck accidents.
