The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the accident was the truckdriver's operation of a tractor-semitrailer at a speed too great for existing weather conditions while traveling on a section of lightly flooded highway pavement. Contributing to the loss of control of the tractor-semitrailer was the inadequate tread depth of the rear tractor tires, the inoperative speedometer, the low surface texture of the pavement, the low friction of the lightly flooded pavement, and the improper corrective maintenance of the highway.
