The National Transportation Safety Board determine that the cause of this crash was the upset of the tractor and cargo-tank semitrailer due to grossly excessive speed in a turn and to the resultant dynamic surge of the liquid cargo. Contributing factors included: the failure of the truckdriver to comply either with the posted speed limit or with State laws and Federal regulations prohibiting coasting out of gear and the failure of his employer to investigate his past driving record. There were 4 deaths and the truckdriver sustained 3rd degree burns over 40% of his body. (Author)
