Fatal Truck Accident Near Osage Leaves Unanswered Questions

A Missouri fatal truck accident late Friday afternoon left unanswered questions for first responders.  Apparently 20 year-old Gordon Robinson lost control of his 2008 Mazda, causing the vehicle to swerve off of Highway 63, then re-enter the roadway into the path of an oncoming Frieghtliner tractor-trailer.  Robinson's Mazda was crushed by the large truck and pushed off the road down an embankment.  Robinson, of Independence Missouri, was pronounced dead at the scene by a local coroner.  It remains unknown how his vehicle lost control, as roads were not particularly slick at the time of the incident.

Walter Vincent, of Freeburg Missouri, was operating the Frieghtliner truck involved in this fatal car accident.  Missouri Highway Patrol will likely check to verify that his logbooks and trip receipts are in agreement.  This is typically done following any crash involving a large tractor-trailer, as many accidents are caused by fatigued and/or inattentive truck drivers.  The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration sets limits for the hours that truck drivers are permitted to operate their rigs in any given 24 hour period.  The "Hours-of-Service" mandate that truck drivers must get a certain amount of rest in between driving for consecutive hours on the road.
