The crash involved a single 18-wheeler traveling on southbound I-35 near Von Ormy.

Commercial truck rollovers can occur for several reasons, depending on the circumstances. Investigators may examine: Speed entering a curve or turn Sudden steering or evasive maneuvers Shifting or improperly secured cargo Tire failure Brake, steering, or suspension problems Roadway or weather conditions Driver fatigue or distraction Vehicle loading and weight distribution At this time, none of those factors has been identified as the cause of this particular rollover. Evidence That May Matter After a Truck Rollover An investigation into a commercial truck rollover may include: Electronic control module data Electronic logging-device records GPS and telematics information Dash-camera footage Cargo and loading records Driver qualification records Hours-of-service records Tractor and trailer maintenance records Tire and brake inspections Crash-scene photographs and measurements The truck’s electronic and mechanical evidence may help determine its speed, braking activity, steering movements, and condition immediately before the rollover. Why Preserving the Tractor and Trailer Can Matter A rolled-over 18-wheeler may contain physical evidence that helps explain why the crash occurred. Investigators may need to inspect the tires, suspension, brakes, steering system, trailer, and cargo before the vehicle is repaired, salvaged, or returned to service. Electronic data and onboard video can also be overwritten or lost if they are not preserved promptly. Injured in an 18-Wheeler Crash in Texas?
