According to newsok.com the Ottawa County District attorney has filed negligent homicide charges against the driver of the semi. This is a sad situation where the semi driver apparently failed to devote his full time and attention to the roadway as collided with stalled traffic on the interstate.

In the coming days I will attempt to discuss areas in which truck drivers suffer fatigue and the devastating effects that can occur.
