A truck driver who was talking on his cell phone instead of paying attention to the road caused a massive truck accident in Louisville, Kentucky killed himself and 10 others in the wreck. He was a driver for the company Hester, Inc.

Police suspect that the driver was speeding, in addition to talking on his phone, but is still under investigation at this time. It is possible he was driving around 80 mph at the time of the crash. They found nothing wrong with his truck at all that would have caused this to happen. Weather reports, for the day of the crash, suggest that the weather was mild and not a causing factor either.

It has been already decided that alcohol was not a cause in this accident at all. The cause that they know of at this time is simply a truck driver who did not do his job or was not trained in the way he should have been trained. Many investigations are being done into this accident at this time. It will be interesting to see how this case turns out.

Motor vehicles accidents such as this are a shame considering it could have been avoided by just simply paying attention to the road. Anyone having a family member involved in this wreck should contact a truck accident lawyer right away.
