On June 25, 2015, about 7:10 p.m., a 2007 Peterbilt truck-tractor in combination with a 2005 Great Dane semitrailer, operated by Cool Runnings Express, Inc., was traveling northbound on Interstate 75, near Chattanooga, Tennessee, when it struck the rear of a 2010 Toyota Prius at an estimated speed of 78-82 mph. Traffic had slowed because of road construction and a work zone lane closure at milepost 12. The truck-tractor continued forward and collided with seven additional vehicles, forcing them into subsequent collisions. Of the 18 vehicle occupants, six died and four were injured. A postcrash fire consumed one vehicle. The truck driver was returning to the carrier terminal in London, Kentucky, having begun his trip about 5:16 a.m. in Haines City, Florida. This investigation identified the truck driver’s performance, limitations of the current drug testing program, inadequacies of driver license records and background checks, and the overrepresentation of trucks in work zone crashes as safety issues. The NTSB made new recommendations to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and the Idaho Transportation Department, and the Tennessee Department of Transportation and the Tennessee Highway Patrol. In addition, the NTSB reiterated one recommendation to the Federal Highway Administration, and reiterated and reclassified one recommendation to the FMCSA.
