A close look at dash camera footage from inside a semi-truck appears to show a truck driver nodding off, moments before the truck crashed into two cars on the side of the road, and a person standing outside it.
The News4JAX I-TEAM has learned that driver said his tire blew out, causing the crash on I-4 in the Tampa area.
According to the incident report, Brown told the Florida Highway Patrol that his front tire blew out, and then the front right portion of truck dipped, causing the crash. It’s testimony that troopers later determined wasn’t what really happened. “One of the things we try to push in a lot of our cases is, look, you had the camera already in the cab of the truck, looking at the driver, but you didn’t purchase the extra service of warning or detecting fatigue,” Portigliatti said.
“That now is as advanced as knowing whether you’re blinking too often, or your eyes are closed for too long, if you’re not checking your mirrors often enough, so that facial recognition and AI that we now have available to us has contributed tremendously to improving safety,” Portigliatti said.Portigliatti said safety can cost trucking companies a little more money upfront, but in the end, he says, it can save trucking companies money, and more importantly, save lives.
