Cell Phone Distraction Caused Tractor-Trailer Crash in Missouri Six Months Ago

The six-month anniversary of the horrible tractor-trailer crash on Highway 64 in St. Louis Missouri is coming up this week.  The truck trash left three Missouri motorists dead and over 10 seriously injured.  The driver of the tractor-trailer, Jeffrey Knight, was reportedly distracted by his cellphone, which authorities opine caused the serious crash.  Traffic was at a dead stop when Knight's loaded truck struck the traffic like bowling pins.  The crash shit down both lanes of Missouri Interstate 64/40 for several hours and crews raced to save the lives that could be saved.  Of those saved, was Mark Tiburzi of St. Louis, who sustained a traumatic brain injury as a result of the collision.  His car was completely ran over by the truck.

The Missouri legislature and other state governing bodies have adopted new laws to prohibit the use of cellphones while operating a motor vehicle or tractor-trailer unless the driver is using a handsfree device.  St. Louis tractor-trailer crash lawyer Stephen Schultz has represented injured clients who have been victimized by an inattentive truck driver.  "The personal injuries that commonly result from a large truck collision such as this are often times catastrophic and permanent", says Schultz, who goes on to say "the trauma and pain and suffering sustained by the families of these victims is just incomprehesible."
