Prevent This!


Both International Business Times and CNN reported that a Japanese woman died after having been run over by a truck driver who was playing a game on his Smartphone.

The CNN article states that the vehicle was "a small truck" and that the driver "had been distracted by Pokemon Go".

This was the "the first case of a death in Japan resulting from someone playing the game".

Regardless of the size of the vehicle being driven, its driver needs to be fully focused on operating it.

No matter how popular a game may be, as a professional truck driver, you're not paid to play a game.

When you are driving, concentrate on driving, not doing anything on your Smartphone.

Prevent this!

Fox 46 Charlotte reported on August 26 that a trucker who had been on the phone with his wife "plunged off an embankment on Interstate 85."

The trucker survived, but had one leg amputated and sustained eye injuries.

While we empathize greatly with the trucker and his family, this situation is a perfect example of how a trucker's trucking career can end suddenly and without warning.
