Alabama
has seen several serious events in recent months involving
18 wheelers and large trucks:
- A tanker-truck explosion
that destroyed the I-20 bridge in Birmingham
- An 18-wheeler that
lost its cargo, a 45,000-pound industrial drive shaft ,
and tore two holes in the I-65 bridge in Hoover
- The 18-wheel cattle
truck that overturned along I-10 in Mobile, killing the
driver of another vehicle
Over the years, too many
people have been seriously injured or killed in crashes involving
18 wheelers and large trucks. Why does this continue to
happen?

must do everything that we can to prevent other tragedies
such as these.
