Fortunately, the driver suffered survived with no life threatening injuries. Reports say that no tickets have been issued over the incident, and it seems that nobody else was injured. Sources provided no indication of why the tire blowout occurred. In some cases of tire blowouts or flats, determining what exactly caused the failure isn\u2019t an easy matter.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to a 2003 report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, tire blowouts or flat tires caused over 400 fatalities that year, as well as over 10,000 injuries and over 78,000 crashes. Those numbers were taken before tire pressure monitor systems were required for commercial motor vehicles, though, so hopefully things have improved. That same report found, though, that certain factors can increase the likelihood of tire problems occurring, such as inadequate tire depth, under-inflation and poor weather conditions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.defranciscolaw.com\/blog\/looking-at-the-role-of-tire-problems-in-truck-accident-litigation-p1\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading Looking at the role of tire problems in truck accident litigation, P.1\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Truck accidents can occur for all manner of reasons, including fatigued driving, misjudging other driver\u2019s movements, speeding or violating other traffic rules, talking on a cell phone and engaging in other activities which distract attention from driving.
