Description

New documents from the National Transportation Safety Board reveal a deadly truck crash on Interstate thirty-five in North Austin last year, caused by a driver with the wrong type of commercial license. The driver, Solomun Weldekeal Araya, killed five people in a massive pileup. Investigators found issues with his employer, ZBN, including lack of safety programs, hiring rules, and oversight. Araya had minimal sleep, used his phone excessively, and was speeding before the crash. The board will issue a final report with cause and prevention steps in the coming months.
