Driving can be a hazardous activity. Further, driving becomes even more hazardous when it involves dangerous driving activities such as distracted driving, driving in excess of the speed limit, and driving while under the influence. Additionally, automobile accidents can have serious consequences. Some of the potential consequences from an automobile accident include property damage, injuries, and even fatalities. Because of this, it is important that drivers practice safe driving every time that they get behind the wheel. Recently, a dump truck struck an overpass on Interstate 94.

The incident occurred on Monday, January 11th. It occurred on eastbound I-94 at the Stadium Interchange located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The bed arm of the dump truck was up when the truck tried to pass under the freeway ramp. Because the bed arm was up, the truck struck the freeway ramp. The force of the collision caused the dump truck to roll over several times. Law enforcement responded to the scene of the accident. The accident caused traffic in eastbound lanes to be shut down for a period of time. Thankfully, no injuries were reported as a result of the accident.

This accident helps to demonstrate the importance of attentive driving. Drivers need to pay full attention on the roadways to help keep the roads safe for themselves and others. By paying full attention to the roadway and avoiding distracted driving activities, drivers can be more prepared to react to hazards or unexpected occurrences in the roadway. With more time to react, drivers will be better able to avoid becoming involved in an automobile accident. By ensuring that drivers practice safe driving every time that they get on the road, they can help to keep the roads safer for everyone.
