Wooley Law Takeaway
A 19-year-old driver was hospitalized after a rollover crash involving an 18-wheeler on San Antonio’s East Side, according to News 4 San Antonio.
The crash happened around 11:00 p.m. near Interstate 10 and Farm-to-Market 1516. Police said the 19-year-old was merging into a lane occupied by the semi-truck when the 18-wheeler struck the rear of his vehicle, causing it to overturn.
Police said the truck driver continued driving without stopping. Authorities have not said whether investigators believe the driver knew the crash occurred. The 19-year-old was taken to a hospital, and the investigation remains ongoing.
Rollover crashes involving 18-wheelers can cause serious injuries because of the force of impact, highway speeds, and the danger of a vehicle overturning. These cases should be investigated quickly and aggressively, especially when a commercial truck may have continued driving after the crash.
Key questions may include whether the 18-wheeler driver failed to keep a proper lookout, made an unsafe lane change, failed to control speed, was distracted, or should have known a collision occurred. Investigators may also need to determine whether the truck had dash cameras, GPS tracking, electronic logs, black box data, or company safety records that could help identify what happened.
Critical evidence may include the crash report, witness statements, nearby surveillance video, traffic camera footage, dash camera footage, 18-wheeler black box data, driver logs, inspection records, maintenance records, cell phone records, vehicle damage, debris evidence, and photos or videos from the scene.
