A reminder for truckers
The cause was not reported, so this is not a conclusion about this crash. As a general reminder, liquid loads such as milk can shift in a tank, and tanker drivers are trained to take turns and intersections at a steady, reduced speed. Load weight matters too; see how much a semi weighs.
