Accidents involving commercial vehicles like this can occur for many reasons, including driver inexperience, bad road conditions, distraction, or poor vehicle maintenance. When they do occur, it becomes critical for victims, especially if another vehicle is struck, to seek legal guidance to protect their rights to compensation.
It Took Hours to Upright the Vehicles
It took several rescue teams to right the vehicles and a full two hours of time to do so. Rescue 938 and Engine Squad 88 responded to the call. There was no insight into what could have caused the accident to occur, including how the vehicle flipped.
