The truck accident happened<\/a> a little before 1:30 a.m. in Pensacola in the eastbound lane of I-10. Florida Highway Patrol stated in a release that the vehicle veered off the road and on to the shoulder of the highway before it rolled over.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe truck driver was not injured, but was charged with Careless Driving. No other vehicles were involved in the accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Truck drivers often suffer from sleep deprivation and the disruption of normal sleep\/rest cycles, therefore truck driver fatigue is a common cause of Alabama truck accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is important for truck accident victims to consult with a knowledgeable truck accident lawyer, especially if fatigue may be the cause of the wreck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
