The truck toppled on its side, creating a horrendous traffic jam as the steel posts spilled out onto the road. Probers, however, should also look into the liability of the truck owner or operator who decided to put all that weight onto the trailer. Too many road accidents have been attributed to faulty vehicle brakes. While vehicle checkups are costly, anyone who can afford to buy a trailer truck should have ample funds for regular maintenance especially of brakes. No motorist assistance desk can protect the public from such accidents waiting to happen.
