A recent I-75 crash near Tuckers Grade in Charlotte County is a reminder that highway crashes involving semi-trucks can raise more questions than people realize.
According to FHP, a Toyota Corolla veered from the right lane into the middle lane and struck the rear trailer portion of a semi with a tank trailer. After the crash, the Corolla left the roadway, entered the wood line, and caught fire. Thankfully, the driver was reported to have only minor injuries.
When a crash report says a vehicle drifted into another lane, that may explain what happened — but not always why it happened.
Lane departures can involve distraction, fatigue, inexperience, speeding, a medical emergency, vehicle problems, roadway conditions, or another driver’s movement. In truck-related crashes, evidence like vehicle data, dashcam footage, truck records, and witness statements can matter.
