Tractor Trailer Wreck at 3 a.m. Due to Fatigue?

A truck wreck on I-75 at 3 a.m. resulted in a diesel spill and shut down of the interstate for 10 hours. It was a single truck accident, and the causes are officially still "under investigation". The time of day suggests that fatigue may have been a factor. Sleep deprivation experts tell us that it is most difficult for people to stay alert during this time, and "catching up" on sleep in advance doesn't really help. We can be thankful that this truck driver just lost control and made a mess of the interstate. It could have been much worse. For more information about driver fatigue issues, click here.
