Five family members were killed in a fiery crash on Friday when a semi-trailer rear ended their pick-up truck. The accident occurred in Crown Point, Indiana on Interstate 65. The semi-trailer was unable to stop in time as traffic came to a stop. The pick-up was crushed between two semi-trailers and caught fire. Brian Workman, 33, Joanna Workman, 31, and children Ashley, Tyler, and Ryan, Hobart, Indiana, were all killed in the crash. The drivers of the semi-trailers were not injured.
This is yet another horrible tragedy illustrating how dangerous tractor trailers can be. A careful investigation will be needed to determine whether the at fault driver was simply inattentive, or whether the accident was caused by some more preventable cause such as fatigue caused by driving in excess of the hours allowed by law. An accident reconstruction expert should also be utilized to make sure that equipment failure did not contribute as well.
