Pennsylvania Semi Trailer Collision

In October of 2008, an SUV collided into a semi truck trailer that was stretched across Route 453 just outside of Tyrone, Pennsylvania.  The driver of the SUV, a 79-year-old man, died.  According to the police statement, the truck driver was attempting to back up and allowed his trailer to cross the wrong lane.

According to officials, Ralph Krauss of Houtzdale, the driver of the SUV, was declared dead at the scene due to blunt force trauma.  This tragic collision wedged the SUV under the trailer and required hours to extricate the body from the wreckage. 

Semi Trailer Collision Death Lawsuit: Liability

Determining whether the Pennsylvania semi trailer collision was caused by driver error will require hours of investigation, analysis and persuasion on the part of a truck accident lawyer. If a semi trailer collision is caused by driver error, several parties may be liable (legally responsible):

  • The owner of the truck cab
  • The owner of the trailer
  • The truck driver
  • The employer of the driver

Our law firm has experience sorting out complex liability issues and the resources to get the job done.
