One Person Injured in a Multi-vehicle Accident Involving a Semi-truck on Harrisburg Road in Jonesboro, Arkansas


JONESBORO, Ark. — At least one person was injured in a three-vehicle collision that happened near the intersection of Harrisburg Road and Highland Drive. The incident happened on Thursday morning near a busy Jonesboro intersection.

Preliminary reports indicate a mechanical failure may have contributed to the crash. A truck reportedly lost its front axle, causing one of its tires to strike another vehicle before the truck collided with a pickup.

No further information is currently available.

Tire failure in commercial trucks must be examined to determine what went wrong

No one deserves to suffer injuries in what should be a routine morning drive. Something went terribly wrong here.

We know tires do not just fall off semi-trucks. So what went wrong here? Did the trucking company conduct regular inspections and maintenance on the truck to prevent an accident like this from happening? Or did they neglect to repair a known issue with the tire, instead choosing to provide a fast, temporary fix that was bound to lead to a hazardous situation if not tended to soon?

Is this a case of a defective tire that should never have left the manufacturer? We have been seeing an increasing number of cases of faulty tires resulting in catastrophic crashes.

The injured person deserves answers. Trained professionals can examine the tire in question to determine what exactly went wrong and who is at fault. Those responsible for this incident should be held accountable.
