Just so that you will know, the driver was not seriously injured in this accident nor was he speeding. There were witnesses that stated to the authorities that he was only running about 25 - 30 mph when the trailer started leaning. The best anyone can figure is that his load started shifting. When container haulers such as he pick up from the ports the containers are sealed and the drivers are not allowed to open nor inspect to make sure the lad is secure. They have to take someone's word for it and the driver was lucky it did not cost him his life.
