Virginia I-95 Truck Accident Leads to Injury, Reckless Driving Charge
Posted on Nov 28, 2010
A 2007 International Tractor with dual trailers was involved in a serious, one truck accident near Ashland and Hanover, Va. The accident occurred just after noon on Interstate 95. The driver, Raymond E. Doggett, was transported to VCU medical center where he was treated for serious injuries. No other vehicles were involved and no other injuries reported.
The driver, from Raleigh, N.C., has been charged by Virginia State Police with reckless driving. Police say the trucker allowed his truck to drift off of the road and onto the shoulder. He then overcorrected and flipped the rig, blocking the interstate and causing major traffic delays.
None of the rigs contents, not disclosed by police, were spilled onto the road and the fuel tank remained intact, helping minimize the clean-up efforts.
This accident was one of just three along I-95 that same day. Mere hours later another large semi-truck crashed in Henrico County, just nine miles south of the original accident. An hour later a third crash occurred along the same highway, this time in Chesterfield County, 22 miles south of the Henrico wreck.
Reckless and distracted driving is all too common among truck drivers in Virginia and across the nation. The personal injury attorneys at Tavss Fletcher hope that the driver makes a full recovery from his injuries and are glad that no other motorists were injured during the multiple collisions.
